In a state with a well-publicized reputation for eccentricity plus thousands of miles of highways crisscrossing it, you’re almost guaranteed to encounter some Americana oddities along the way. And Oregon does not disappoint, with hand-built theme parks, niche museums, real-life ghost towns, a shipwreck you can walk up to at low tide, and even Howard Hughes’s “flying boat.” Route your road trip to hit at least a few of these classic roadside attractions.
