- Kewanee, Illinois - Hog Capital of the World
This attraction is no longer there. We physically checked out the location to no avail. While in town I called the local historic society, and the representative said that the Hog Capital of the World tribute [a hog statue in a little brick doghouse with a sign] had been removed. Also, the hog statue in the historical museum is not the same one that was at the site.

We stopped by to see this and the other two Roadside America sights in the cemetery. This monument is out front. You can walk up to it, although it would be harder to access closely with wheelchair or stroller. It is visible from a car.
