The famous nut salesman, Tom McGinn, spent his life growing pistachios and his son dedicated this attraction to him. Now, while visiting this wacky roadside attraction, you can also visit the wildly popular McGinn's pistachio tree ranch. Beautiful pistachio trees go on for acres, as well as grapes for their wines.
