This art Installation has been on my radar for decades and at last we drove to see it in all its glory. It’s all that. Brilliant. Bravo. Meaningful. And so needed in today’s lackluster art world. Go. Today. Make a date.

My family and I most definitely enjoyed the visit to the Texas Panhandle War Memorial. We were welcomed with open arms, very friendly and the museum is most definitely a sight to see. It's a great place to visit in which to reflect our freedoms and to honor our brothers and sisters in arm that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and our nation. I most definitely recommend visiting, there are many historical artifacts to see, friendly and welcoming staff as well as a gift shop. 12/29

This offbeat roadside attraction features 10 graffiti-covered Cadillacs standing upright in a row, buried nose-first in the ground. The sculpture is the brainchild of Amarillo millionaire Stanley Marsh III, who chose classics dating from 1948 to 1963, the "Golden Age" of the American automobile.
