- More about America Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the Hidden Wonders of the United States
America Obscura, the follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller Atlas Obscura, is a road trip into the hidden heart of America—a love letter to the strange, fantastic, and beautiful corners of the United States.
America Obscura takes readers on a journey that stretches from shore to shore, in search of the country’s folk rituals and roadside museums, its outsider artists and eccentric prophets, its forgotten dreamers and improbable visionaries who help shape the landscape every day. Equal parts travel companion and cultural almanac, this is the definitive field guide to America’s hidden marvels.
Start in Alaska, where the whimsical 185-foot “Dr. Seuss House” stacks story upon story into the clouds, and watch the moon-driven bore tide of Turnagain Arm roll in like a liquid wall for sub-arctic surfers. Head south to Colorado to visit the Frozen Dead Guy Days Festival, and then drift across the Great Plains to tour the world’s largest collection of marbles in Nebraska. In New York, meet a ghostly white deer herd that roams a decommissioned nuclear weapons repository, and in Arizona, dine at a pizza shop that also hosts concerts on a 6,000-pipe Wurlitzer organ.
With hundreds of breathtaking photographs, maps, and sample road trips, America Obscura is a vividly illustrated cabinet of curiosities from the award-winning chroniclers of the world’s hidden wonders.
Pack your bags and prepare to be delighted and disoriented, pulled out of the familiar, and dropped into the astonishing as you become re-enchanted with this endlessly curious and surprising country.
