Giant VW Spider
You just have to admire the time and creativity that went into making this terrifying piece of roadside art. Okay, maybe its not terrifying to everyone, but for those of us with mild spider phobias, its at least enough to give the hibbie-jibbies. This fearsome mutation of a VW Beetle is located on Highway 77 near Lexington, OK.
Totem Pole Park
Totem Pole Park is located in Foyil, OK, which is not too much of a jaunt off of historic Route 66. The centerpiece of this park is the 90 foot totem pole, which is the world's largest concrete totem pole. The totem pole was built by Ed Galloway over an 11 year period from 1937 to 1948. To make it, he used 6 tons of steel, 29 tons of cement, and 100 tons of filler. After retirement, he continued to add more sculptures to the park until his death in 1962.
Showmans Rest
Showman's Rest is located in Hugo, OK, which is the winter home of several circuses. Though I wouldn't normally consider a graveyard an attraction, this one has many interesting tombstones.
Heavener Runestone
This runestone is one of several runestones that have been found in Oklahoma. The origins and translation are both disputed.

This round barn is located in Arcadia, OK, along historic Route 66. The barn was originally built in 1898 by William Harrison Odor, along with family and neighbors.

Luther "Luke" Robinson, along with a gang of volunteers, restored the barn in the early nineties.
