America Obscura Release Date: November 10, 2026

Coming Soon

From the creative minds behind the #1 New York Times bestseller Atlas Obscura comes a road trip into the hidden heart of America—a love letter to the strange, fantastic, and beautiful corners of the United States.

America Obscura takes readers on a journey that stretches from shore to shore, in search of the country’s folk rituals and roadside museums, its outsider artists and eccentric prophets, its forgotten dreamers and improbable visionaries who helped shape the landscape. Equal parts travel companion and cultural almanac, this is the definitive field guide to America’s hidden marvels.

Start in Talkeetna, Alaska, where the whimsical 185-foot “Dr. Seuss House” stacks story upon story into the clouds, and watch the moon-driven bore tide of Turnagain Arm roll in like a liquid wall for sub-arctic surfers. Head south to Colorado to visit the International Snow Sculpture Championships, and then drift across the Great Plains to tour the world’s largest collection of marbles in Nebraska. In New York, meet a ghostly white deer herd that roams a decommissioned nuclear weapons repository, and in Arizona dine at a pizza shop that also hosts concerts on a 6,000-pipe Wurlitzer organ.

With hundreds of breathtaking photographs, maps, and sample road trips, America Obscura is a vividly illustrated cabinet of curiosities from the award-winning chroniclers of the world’s hidden wonders that revels in the unexpected, the overlooked, the bizarre, and the mysteriously awe-inspiring.

Pack your bags and prepare to be delighted and disoriented, pulled out of the familiar, and dropped into the astonishing as you become re-enchanted with this endlessly curious and surprising country.

(Editors: Atlas Obscura, Doug Baldinger, Louise Story)
