Route 66 State Park
The town of Times Beach was disincorporated, evacuated and bulldozed in the mid 1980's, after it was discovered that much of the towns roadways and parks were constructed with contaminated dirt. The contamination came from a pesticide plant, owned by Syntex Agribusiness, Inc., which sprinkled the area with dioxins as well as several other toxic chemicals. An incinerator was constructed and the toxic material was burned, along with material shipped in from 26 other contaminated sites in the country. The incineration took several years, and 265,000 tons of soil and debris was burned by the time the incineration stopped in 1997.
The site is now Route 66 State Park.

Milwaukee Mile
A wide variety of automobiles have raced on this one mile oval race track since 1903. It is the oldest continuously operating auto racing facility in the world.
It was built in 1876 as a private horse racing track. In 1891, the land was purchased to create a new state fairgrounds, which still exists today. The first automobile race held here was on September 11, 1903. The dirt racing surface was covered by pavement in 1954.
Over the years, many major forms of American motorsports have competed here, including every generation of Indy car racing, NASCAR stock cars and trucks, sprint cars, midgets, several regional stock car series, and even semi-trucks. A road course which winds through the infield has held various sports car and karting events.
The NFL's Green Bay Packers played a few games a year on a field located in the inside of the oval track from 1934-51. The 1939 NFL Championship Game was played here.
During the annual Wisconsin State Fair, daily concert acts are held on a stage near the start/finish line.

Fort Macon
Small Civil War era fort on an island in the Outer Banks
Fort Macon was designed by Brig. Gen. Simon Bernard and built by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was named after North Carolina’s eminent statesman of the period, Nathaniel Macon. Construction began in 1826 and lasted for eight years. The fort was completed in December, 1834, and was improved with further modifications during 1841-46. Total cost of the fort was $463,790. As a result of congressional economizing, the fort was actively garrisoned only from 1834-1836, 1842-1844 and 1848-1849. Often, an ordnance sergeant acting as a caretaker was the only person stationed by the Army at the fort.
