  • Wow, I remember going to Dogpatch USA the summer of '93. I was 7 yrs old. My grandpa took me, my brothers, and my mom there. My mom recently told me that the park shut down shortly after we were there. It was so disappointing, I actually had a lot of fun there. That same grandpa that took us, also died later that year. :( Good memories though, for sure.

  • My parents said they took us to Dogpatch when I was little, but I have no memory of this place. Many people may have fond memories of this park, but, according to Wikipedia, after Al Capp discontinued the comic strip in 1976 and died in 1979, the park simply couldn't compete with other successful parks like Silver Dollar City due to the fact that those parks weren't based on something that had been out of print for so long.

  • I went to Dogpatch as a kid. It wasn't flashy, but it was different. Flashy is not always what I'm in the mood for.

  • I was there a few times in the mid to late 80's. It was never "fantastic" and paled compared to the bigger parks or Silver Dollar City near Branson, But I liked it.

    Shame to see its is pretty much dead.

  • who or what they're going to sell the park to?

  • I went there in 1971, I was 8 yrs. old. ...great memory.

  • I attended Dogpatch when I was a child and also took my own 2 children there the last year it was open, 1993. It makes me sad to see it abandoned like this. Hopefully they can to something with it...I have fun memories of going there!

  • @HattieLovesCattie Names around my part of NC are Hare,Hair and Barefoot.:)

  • :) I used to go here when I was little. I have lots of memories of the place.
