Viking Tower: Newport, Rhode Island
The Mysterious Viking Tower is a modest tower located in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island. This landmark is unusual, but perhaps too unusual, because no one knows anything about it. For generations, people have wondered who erected this structure and why. However, tradition has it that the edifice was built by Vikings, making it one of the country’s oldest structures. While there is no proof, it is a plausible enough story for those who accept it. However, the guesswork becomes tiresome pretty quickly. Sure, a little mystery is fun, but this structure is a little excessive.

South of the Border: Hamer, South Carolina
One of the most well-known tourist sites on this list is South of the Border, which is located directly across the border from North Carolina into South Carolina. The service station, which includes a café and a gift shop, serves as a landmark for travelers approaching or exiting South Carolina. The purposefully garish tourist restaurant and larger-than-average souvenir shop are unremarkable. There is no incentive to stop and spend time at South of the Border unless you have a taste for the food served at the restaurant or need to fill up your tank with petrol.
