You left out Cawker City, KS and its World's Largest Ball of Sisal Twine, started in 1953, at 8,507,430 feet long and 27,017 lbs, according to one sign I've seen (it's about 10 ft tall). Cawker City is along U.S. Hwy 24 in north central Kansas, not too far from what, until 1959, was the Geographical Center of the United States (now of the 48 contiguous states) near Lebanon, KS where my Dad grew up.
As Kirk says, most states have these little tidbits. Some day I hope to stop at the Museum of Independent Telephony ( Abilene, KS - Museum of Independent Telephony ) or Independent Telephony or perhaps make a Kansas trip specifically to check out a number of the small museums I've seen indications from along I-70, along with some of the interesting things found elsewhere in the state according to sites such as Plan Your Kansas Adventure | Kansas Tourism or What to See & Do in Kansas | Must See Attractions for 2022
In other words, lots of ways to find things to see/do.
