The Thing in Dragoon, AZ, is a peculiar establishment that serves as a store and museum. Named after its star exhibit, The Thing was originally created by lawyer Thomas Binkley Prince as a tourist attraction featuring unusual artifacts. The museum, housed in a series of metal buildings, was revamped in 2018 by Bowlin Travel Centers, expanding its size and enhancing the collection of curiosities.

Situated in the remote Texas Canyon along I-10, The Thing entices travelers with numerous billboards advertising its mysterious allure. Visitors can explore the oddities on display while also enjoying the convenience of a nearby Dairy Queen restaurant and Shell gasoline station.
