OK, so you will probably be scratching your head if someone asks you where the International Forest of Friendship is. But you will definitely be even more surprised to learn that there is indeed such a place in Atchison, Kansas. And no, you won?t be seeing hugs and kisses here, but the forest is still interesting nonetheless.

The international Forest Of Friendship is actually a memorial to all the people who have contributed greatly to the development of the aviation and space exploration fields. Each of the trees in the forest represents an individual contributor. Contributors come from all 50 states and 35 countries from around the globe. There is also a trail that takes you to a series of plaques commemorating other individuals in the field.
