Wall Drug: the Weirdest Drugstore on earth! America's most famous Roadside Attraction
Wall Drug! America is full of incredible Roadside Attractions. Some, like Cadillac Ranch, Lucy the Elephant, or the Cabazon Dinosaurs are instantly recognizable from a single glance. But there's another kind of roadside attraction, the kind of roadside wonderland that is so packed with attractions, souvenirs, oddities, and history that you could stop there multiple times for hours and never see it all! Of those, Wall Drug in South Dakota is far and away the most famous. Located near the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore and perched on the edge of Badlands National Park, Wall Drug was started by pharmacist Ted Husted and his wife Dorothy, who had the brilliant idea of advertising free ice water, bumper stickers, and serving 5ยข coffee on billboards up and down America's old highways, starting a 90 year tradition of bringing in carloads of travelers into what has become the most famous and weirdest drugstore in the world!
