Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations | Ep. 101: Kansas

The one-hour special that started it all! Debunking the "myth" that Kansas is dull, this tour, the beaten interstate path, treats you to the legendary Garden of Eden, Cawker City’s Big Ball of Twine, the Barbed Wire Museum, the Davis Memorial in Hiawatha, a giant concrete buffalo, sculptures made entirely from aluminum pull tabs, and a host of other rare visions to catch a curious traveler's eye.
We're sharing an episode of this longtime viewer favorite each Monday on this channel.
Launched in 1995, Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations sought out a hidden world of outsider artists and, in a traveling show format, brought their eclectic work to the viewers of public television. The series followed Randy Mason, Mike Murphy and Don the Camera Guy as they loaded up their cramped minivan and hit the road to document grassroots arts environments and offbeat attractions of all kinds, exploring human creativity across 47 states and four time zones.

I would just love to talk to any one of the three guys in real life and what year was this made

Used to catch this show at 4am on PBS after closing the shop down, one of my all time favorites for sure. True appreciation for true people doing true art!
