Posts From The Road: Gary’s Gay Parita

Gary’s Gay Parita: A view of the front of the gas station at Gary’s Gay Parita reveals just a sampling of what visitors will see while roaming around the grounds of the station. The original gas station burned in 1955 and business ceased. Gary Turner and some relatives constructed this replica Sinclair station in 2003. The purpose of the station was to provide a place for travelers to stop and see items from the period when the original station was in operation. This station did not sell gas.
