No one knows a city as well as the people who live there, the ones who know where to find the best local shops with the coolest trinkets, hidden gem restaurants with must-try dishes or mesmerizing street art sprinkled along the landscape. America is full of communities who make their mark on their city, making them interesting places to call home and drawing in visitors from all over to see what sets it apart.
According to a list of "offbeat" American locales and "charming oddities" compiled by Reader's Digest, the quirkiest city in all of Wisconsin is Sparta. This spot was recognized for its unique fiberglass sculptures.
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about this destination:
"Sparta may be best known for a large field filled with strange fiberglass sculptures. Well, they're not exactly sculptures; you might say they're refuse. An organization called the FAST Corporation (Fiberglass Animals, Shapes and Trademarks) manufactures giant fiberglass statues and when they're finished they toss the molds into an open nearby field. Anyone driving past the location without knowing the story behind it must get an odd jolt."
