Winganon, Oklahoma

Winganon is an unincorporated community in Rogers County, Oklahoma, United States, located east of U.S. Route 75 on E 300 Road in Talala, known for having a roadside abandoned cement mixer painted to look like a space capsule.[1][2]

Space Capsule Cement Mixer

A cement truck rolled over on the side of the road. The company that owned it came and got the truck, but left the mixer behind because it held tons of concrete. No one is sure exactly when the wreck happened. Some accounts put it in the early 70s, some in the late 60s and others as far back as 1959. Located on Winganon Road between Highway 169 and Oologah Lake in Rogers County. In 2008, Heather Thomas and her husband, Barry, and some friends came up with the idea to celebrate their 5th anniversary by using canning lids, garden hose and other household items to make the cement mixer look like a space capsule.[3]
