Clown Motel

The Clown Motel is a lodging facility with over 5,000 clown figures and memorabilia distributed throughout its 31 rooms, lobby, and a dedicated museum area. The property sits on North Main Street and features clown-themed decor in every section.

Leroy and Leona David opened the motel in 1985, starting with around 150 clown figures from their father Clarence's collection. The accumulation has grown significantly over the decades and expanded into one of the largest private clown collections.

The collection of clown figures throughout the property has become a distinctive focal point for visitors seeking unusual roadside attractions. People come here specifically to experience this unusual themed environment and take photographs with the various displays.

Each room includes heating, air conditioning, television, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and free wireless internet. Guests should prepare for extensive clown decoration throughout their stay in both rooms and common areas.

Two 19-foot-tall clown cutouts named Jolly stand guard at the entrance and are visible from a distance. Some rooms are named and decorated after horror film classics, creating a distinctly unconventional lodging atmosphere.
