"The Ultimate Sweet Swine County Adventure
"Where Every Attraction Caters to Those Who’ve Never Been Outside the County!"
Sweet Swine County Museum
A beloved landmark in Split Hoof, the Sweet Swine County Museum has seen better days. After poet laureate Ronnie P. Silage became its caretaker, the museum fell into disrepair. When asked about the decline, Silage explained to Sweet Swine Scoop, "I thought the job was just washing windows and sweeping now and then. Turns out, if you don’t stay on top of things, it gets out of hand real fast!"

Corn Cob Hall of Fame: A Sweet Swine County Must-See
Nestled on Cow Pie Ridge, the "Corn Cob Hall of Fame" features over 3,952 corn cobs, including Corn Cob Elvis, Nixon, Liberace, and local favorites like Aunt Ella and Cousin John. Many of the corn cobs, painted by Sweet Swine County jail inmates as part of a creative rehabilitation program, are made from wood and other materials. The inmates use their earnings to buy more corn cobs, continuing the cycle. The Hall of Fame is proud to showcase this unique artistry!
Sweet Swine County Courthouse
Originally located on Rupert Olson’s farm, the historic Sweet Swine County Courthouse was moved to High Horse in 1937. Olson, father of businessman John Olson, once housed camels in the two-story brick building. After losing the farm, Rupert sold the courthouse for its original cost of $132 but kept the windows and doors for his cabin on Swine Lake. The county plans to buy them back once they have a quorum—though no quorum has been reached in 80 years! For now, a local 8-track repair company uses the building to store overstock.
Sounds From The Barnyard Museum: A Corn Row Attraction
Located in the suburb of New Pork, Corn Row is home to the Sounds From The Barnyard Museum, where both kids and adults flock to enjoy farm animal sounds. Founded by Elmer Plow, who believed petting zoos were too dangerous, this unique museum features recordings and live performances of farm animal sounds dating from the 1940s to today.

Sweet Swine County Museum's Outhouse Library!
The SSC Museum proudly announced the acquisition of the beloved Sweet Swine County Outhouse Library. Originally located in High Horse, this popular spot featured three shelves packed with books, offering readers of all ages a quiet place to enjoy novels, picture books, and magazines—all within arm’s reach. While the books couldn't be checked out, visitors appreciated the peaceful setting and the lockable door. Though no longer functional, the exhibit is sure to bring back fond memories. The displayed image is an artist's rendering, as the real outhouse needs a bit of cleanup before delivery!
Swine Song Commune: A Haven for Artists and Hippy Types
Willow Brooks discovered a ten-acre plot north of Swine Lake and founded the Swine Song Commune. She told The Daily Boar, "I've always dreamed of a place where musicians, artists, and hippy types could come together to share their passions. Swine Song Commune is that dream come true!" Artists have already begun arriving, and all are welcome to join in this creative, vibrant community. "We can sing, dance, and be cool together—it's all very exciting!"
