Dogpatch USA

Dogpatch USA started out as a trout farm. Through an enterprising vision and a connection with the hugely popular Al Capp "Li'l Abner" comic strip, the park became successful for a time. Changing cultural interests, money troubles, and legal entanglements brought down Dogpatch, and continued on decades after the park was closed and abandoned. It's a long and wild ride - come have a heckuva day and listen.
