Geocache Description:
The first line of this rhyme was quoted in a medley "The Nurse's Song," written about 1728. A full version was not recorded until it was published in The Famous Tommy Thumb's Little Story-Book, published in London about 1760. It then appeared with slight variations in many late eighteenth and early nineteenth century collections. Until the mid-twentieth century, the lines referred to "little pigs." The rhyme is usually counted out on a person's toes, each line corresponding to a different toe, usually starting with the big toe, and ending with the little toe. A foot tickle is usually added during the "Wee...all the way home" section of the last line. You should all remember this little piggy rhyme from your childhood. Hope you enjoy finding these piggy caches as much as I have enjoyed creating them. As always, a BIG thank you to my geocaching hero, Sujimgi, who is my partner in all the adventures in my life!
This little piggy was previously at an empty building on East 5th Street. Her new and current site is what was the orginial Fayette County Historical Museum, once known as the Reynold's Museum. The building is only used for storage now so this little pig has none.
