This is your typical roadside Americana kitsch. Heed my warning, do not make a trip just to see this as you will be disappointed. I mean if you happen to be in this area and happen to decide to view it, by all means. But, for the life of me, do not make a special trip to view this. It is nothing more than a tourist trap without the frills. (I am not being mean by saying that, but unless you come during their festival, there is nothing else to do).
Little background, back in December of 1965 people reported seeing a fireball in the sky from Windsor, Canada all the way to Kecksburg. Nothing was "found" during a search and it was brushed off as being anything from satellite debris to a meteor.
What you will see when you get here is an acorn shaped item, the size of a Volkswagen as locals are quoted. It sits atop a podium for all to see. There is writing on it that looks like hieroglyphics, and....well, that's it. Nothing else really.
It is kind of neat and kind of quirky, and definitely not something you would expect to see in rural parts of Pennsylvania. But here it is. I am sure it is a bit more exciting during their festival time which happens in July. But if you want to take a ride with nowhere in mind (which I have not recommended) here is you destination. read more
