Dogpatch USA

If you're about twenty years old or older and grew up in the Ozarks, then you might remember visiting Dogpatch USA. It was opened in 1968 and based on Al Capp's popular comic strip Li'l Abner, which was set in the fictional town of Dogpatch. The park had a roller coaster, a trout farm and lake where you could fish for your own dinner, a huge water slide, and all kinds of shops. You could meet Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae, and even the lovable Shmoo. Dogpatch USA has been closed since 1993, and everything's still there, rotting in the sun.
