Scattered across the city of Cincinnati, you will find artfully decorated pig statues. These statues were first created in 2000 by local artists and schools in order to celebrate the history of the city as the pork capital of the US. At one time there had been over 400 different statues on display, but today only a handful still exist outside private collections. One of the best examples can be found near Sawyer Point and is named "Lucius Quinctus Pigasus".
