and even a theme park (one that I remember some of my friends visiting in the 80s).

OHMYGOD I now remember going there on a family vacation! It was pretty sad at the time. You had to ride an incline-railway platform partway down a steep hillside to get to it which was neat, and the park was a bunch of buildings with plywood facades designed as locations from the comic strip among some rustic natural scenery and a handful of rickety carnival rides. I think originally it was better in the 60’s with a cave-tour, horseback riding, paddle-boats, and a fudge shoppe. Like a very downgrade Silver Dollar City.

We had skipped Dogpatch USA on our family vacation to the area in favor of another theme park nearby, but I had forgotten the name of it. It was Silver Dollar City! Thank you for that!
