What does Graceland Too in Holy Springs, Miss., the Jimmy Carter Peanut State in Plains, Ga., and the World's Largest Buffalo have in common?

All have found spots on time.com's Top 50 American Roadside Attractions list.

The list is in no particular order and showcases nostalgic attractions from Texas to Alaska.

It sites the National Buffalo Museum and Frontier Village as things to do when visiting the World's Largest Buffalo, recently named Dakota Thunder.

Jamestown's most recent claim to fame is 26 feet tall, 46 feet long and weighs in at 60 tons of concrete.

The World's Largest Buffalo was also recently named the third best roadside attraction by Reader's Digest in its Best of American 2010: Readers Choice poll.

The Jamestown (N.D.) Sun and the Herald are owned by Forum Communications Co.
