Listen "Dogpatch, USA"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dig into the rollercoaster history of Dogpatch USA, a unique theme park inspired by the "Li'l Abner" comic strip that charmed visitors in the Ozark Mountains from 1968 to 1993. Join us as we explore the park's origins, from its start as a simple trout farm to its transformation into a beloved destination packed with quirky attractions and unforgettable characters. We'll examine the rise and fall, the factors that fueled its early success, the challenges it faced in its later years, and its enduring legacy in the landscape of American theme parks. We'll also bring you up to speed on the current efforts to revive the site as Marble Falls Nature Park and what this transformation means for the future of this unique piece of Americana.
