There's One Roadside Attraction in Massachusetts That Has Been Dubbed the "Weirdest"

If you are in a weird mood one attraction that you may want to explore is the Paper House in Rockport. According to a recent article published by Trips to Discover, the Paper House is considered the weirdest roadside attraction.

Set along the rocky coast of Cape Ann, one of Massachusetts’ most charming small towns, the Paper House was a summer cottage built using newspapers.
