Description:

A gigantic pair of Buddy Holly's black framed Coke bottle-lensed glasses - perhaps the largest in the nation mark the site of where his ill-fated plane crashed. Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson also died in this crash. This is Iowa farm country, so save the location on your Fotospot app ahead of time.
