World’s Land of Giants
Title:World’s Land of Giants
Location:Unger, W.Va
Description:At a little over two hours from Baltimore or Washington, D.C., the Land of Giants (also known as the Farnham Colossi) is perfect for a purposefully strange day trip. When Mr. and Mrs. Farnham, a former Washington lawyer and a city girl from New York, wanted a change of pace, they moved to West Virginia. Thanks to a satellite dish and the Internet, they were able to order collectible statues. Lots of them. And not just any statues — 20-ft.-tall ones. Santa Claus; a guy with grocery bags; a surfer sipping a giant Coke. If that doesn’t say summer, we don’t know what does.
