Welcome to the World's Largest Covered Porch Swing, hiding in the small town of Hebron!

This unusual attraction is sitting in Roosevelt Park in Hebron. The oddest part about this is that it's not even on a porch.

A local Nebraskan in the 1980s had the idea to create a large porch swing during a visit to the south and saw the draw that four-seaters brought. The original goal was to take the title of "Fourth of July City" from Seward.

They worked with a local engineer to create this 16-seater porch swing. This swing can hold 16 adults or 24 children! This swing was first built on Civilian Conservation Corps Camp before being moved to Roosevelt Park to further its popularity.

When this porch swing was first built, it wasn't covered, but now the covering makes it look much more like a porch.

The builders of this swing sought to find the "World's Largest Porch Swing" in the Guinness Book of World Records, but couldn't find it, so they declared it the largest. No one has officially contended the title thus far.

You'd never know what's hiding in this small Nebraska town, but swinging life away on the World's Largest Porch Swing is a relaxing attraction, or a great photo-op. Next time you're in Hebron, make sure to check it out!
