Missouri is home to a variety of attractions that will appeal to those in search of the unusual, the unique or the just plain weird. For example, in Independence, you can visit Leila's Hair Museum, which is housed in the Victorian Hairwork Society. Laugh if you will, but hair art was a popular craft amongst Victorian women. After brushing their hair, they would clean their brushes and place the stray hairs into a ceramic hair jar, which would be conveniently located on their dressing table. Eventually, it was combined with dried flowers, beads and ribbons, and turned into works of art. In some cases, hair wreaths were made in commemoration of a recently deceased person. Although hair art is now a dying craft, Leila Cohoon has immortalized it at her museum. As long as you're viewing Victorian hobbies, why not get into the turn-of-the-century spirit, by finding accommodations at a Victorian inn or bed and breakfast. The exploration of odd attractions does not end in Independence. Moving on to Point Lookout, you will discover the Ralph Foster Museum.
