Then you will want to stop at the Porter Sculpture Park, which may just be one of the strangest roadside attractions in South Dakota:

Located just off I-90, the Porter Sculpture Park is the creation of Wayne Porter, an artist and farmer who made his masterpieces from old scrap metal and other re-purposed equipment, and them painting them in a series of vibrant and eye-catching colors.
TripAdvisor/Em Walker
Instead of keeping his creations to himself. Porter opened the aptly-named Porter Sculpture Park, which is home to 50 welded metal sculptures that range from dragons to farm animals to stick figures and the World's Largest Ball of Invisible Twine (get it?).
