About

Some 200 miles northwest of Kansas City, the sleepy town of Hebron, Nebraska, boasts an unusual attraction: the world's largest covered porch swing.

With a seat 32 feet long, the swing can easily accommodate 18 adults or 24 children, making it a favorite location for wedding or family photos.

The swing's massive frame was built using a section of a Reinke Manufacturing irrigation frame, a familiar farming tool dotting many nearby fields.

Originally built in 1985, the swing was designed to help boost tourism to the area and was moved to its present site in Hebron's Roosevelt Park in 1991.

In 2016, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts named Hebron "Nebraska's Porch Swing Capital."
