About

Downtown Greenville is home to nine small mice statues tucked along Main Street. Inspired by the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon, Mice on Main Street was created as a senior project by a local in 2000.

Visitors can try to find all nine mice using the official clue map, available at the General Store, making it a playful scavenger hunt for kids and adults alike.
