10Best Says

There are a lot of things that are unique to Greenville but Mice on Main has to be one of the most one-of-its-kind attractions that you will find anywhere. The brainchild of a local high school student who partnered with a local artist, nine bronze mice were carefully placed along Main St. in downtown Greenville in the early 2000s and Greenville residents and guests alike have clamored to find them all. The mice were so popular that a children's book was written to both tell their stories and offer clues as to where to find them. Chances are good that seeing your child's eyes light up every time they find another mouse just might be the highlight of any trip to Downtown Greenville.
