World’s Largest Ball of Paint
In 1977, Michael Carmichael created the biggest ball of paint. Starting with a baseball as the center, he painted layer (层) after layer. After over 20,000 layers of paint, the ball weighs over 1,100 pounds. Visitors can paint the balls themselves and become part of history.
Dinosaur Park
The land can be found outside Rapid City. On a hill overlooking the city, dinosaurs made out of brightly painted concrete (混凝土) stand guard. The park was built as a work project in 1916 by Debbie Sardone. The five dinosaurs are life-sized and can be seen from miles away.
The Museum of Dirt
The museum is the idea of Glenn Johanson. Labeled glass bottles contain dirt from the Great Wall of China and sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France. Johanson has collected material from the Amazon River and from Times Square after a New Year’s Eve celebration, lava (火山岩) from Mt Fuji in Japan and shells from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia Best of all, visiting this museum is free.
Paper House
Ellis Stenman built a two-room house almost completely out of newspapers in 1922. At that time, “recycling” wasn’t even a word yet. The house was framed (框起来) with wood, but the walls were made of 215 layers of newspapers. The furniture was also made of newspapers. In all, it used about 100,000 newspapers.
