America The Strange:
5 Quirky Montana Tourist Attractions

The quest across the west continues with a stop in Montana: home to some of the weirdest and wackiest attractions around. So come join the Jurnii and prepare yourself for some of the quirkiest things around.

1. Montana Testicle Festival: Rock Creek Lodge, Montana

Tantalize your taste buds at the Montana Testicle Festival: home to the tastiest testicles in town. The annual event attracts a titillating 10,000 people, all seeking to sample the world’s finest bull testicles in a testy festy fashion.

You’ll be sure to leave saying “I had a ball at the Montana Testicle Festival”.


2. Steer Montana: Baker, Montana

Once famous for being the “world’s largest steer”, Steer Montana has been reduced to skin and bones, literally.

Lost for several years, he was steered back to fame (at a cost of $5000) to the local historical museum, where he now permanently resides in a glass case.

3. Two-Story Outhouse: Nevada City, Montana

Known to the locals as “Big John”, Nevada City’s two-story outhouse proudly sits behind a hotel, reveling in all its former glory (and who knows what else).

This “skys-crapper” of a structure is sure to impress.

4. Merry Widow Health Mine: Basin, Montana

Never has there been such a congregation of arthritis-ridden, coughing, sneezing, diabetic people in the same room before (if you don’t count a retirement home that is).

Famous for providing relief to those suffering from asthma, hay fever, migraines and eczema, the mine works its “wonders” through its “magical” water: in fact, so magical you have to pay for it!

5. Cut Bank Penguin: Cut Bank, Montana

The local ambassador of Cut Bank, the Cut Bank Penguin claims that this is in fact the “coldest place in the nation”: now that’s a pretty tough call from a penguin.

However, it should come as no surprise that he holds authority; he is after all 27 feet tall and weighs 10,000 lbs.

So listen to the talking penguin and be sure to rug up.
