Sharpsville, Indiana
For a trip back to 1950s America you have to visit Sharpsville, where resident Jim Richardson built his own small town, complete with a genuine old-time diner, movie marquee, gas station, and 1950s-style cars.

Say goodbye to technology in this West Virginia town, which is home to one of the largest radio telescopes in the country. The telescope means no wireless signals allowed, so residents have to live without cellphones Wi-Fi, and even microwaves.
