Oregon is a downright weird place — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Home to the world’s smallest park, Bigfoot sightings, and creepy sea monsters, Oregon is full of weirdness and oddities, and a literal museum of pecularities. The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium in Oregon is quite possibly the weirdest place you’ll ever visit, full of fascinating oddities, artifacts, and more. In other words, it fits right in here in the Beaver State!

Located at 2234 NW Thurman Street in Portland, Oregon (where else?), the Freakybuttrue Peculiarium is a wholly unique place where weirdness wins.
