Groom, TX (2473)
At Groom, TX, is a 19 story cross located on land next to I-40. The cross is lit at night and visible from a few miles away, during the day the cross was visible from about 8 miles on I-40.

The cross and associated statues are the creation of Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ Ministries.

I remember the first time I stumbled on this, on a solo road trip back in 1999. It was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. I love that there are signs pointing to it, despite the fact that it's by far the tallest thing for 10 miles.

Surreal describes well my own experience. I expected something very schmaltzy, overdone, and proselytizing, but the experience was much more reserved feeling.
