On our family's trip to Pennsylvania this year, I asked the rangers at parks and historic sites (like last year) what the stupidest questions they've ever gotten from visitors had been. They didn't disappoint! Here's another list of funny questions for you. 
Liberty Bell
Didn't the Liberty Bell used to be bigger?
Is it true that the Liberty Bell is made of horse manure?
Leonardo Da Vinci made the Liberty Bell, right?
Independence Hall
(asking a security guy, who of course has no idea) What kind of tree is that and how old is it?
How do I get out? (facing an open gate with "exit" sign)
Is that (independence hall, small-ish RED brick building) the white house?
What time is the 2:30 tour?
Back In the Time of the Revolutionary War, did they have...
...Meat?
...Rocks?
...Women?
And...
After explaining to a park ranger that they were from San Diego and had been driving for a while, a confused-looking couple asked simply, "So where are we?"


LOL
LOL those are really funny questions. Nice article, Annika!
