RABBITS IN RICE COUNTY
A Storybook Adventure Across Rice County
Rabbits in Rice County is a story-driven adventure that leads visitors through all eight Rice County communities. Inspired by Shima, the bronze rabbit at Lyons’ Davis Nature Trail, the experience follows eight curious rabbits—each waiting to be discovered in a different town. Follow their clues, explore their hometowns, and uncover the stories that connect Rice County one stop at a time.
MEET THE RABBITS
and the Communities They Call Home
From Shima in Lyons and Portteus in Alden to Clarence in Bushton, Thumper in Chase, Genny in Geneseo, Stu in Little River, Weez in Raymond, and Moxley in Sterling, every life-size bronze rabbit has a distinct personality and local connection. Their names and stories honor community characters, history, humor, resilience, and the people who have helped shape each town.
Make a Day of the Hunt
Turn your visit into a self-guided rabbit hunt through parks, downtown gathering places, trails, and community landmarks. Bring the family, take photos, visit local shops and museums along the way, and see how every rabbit adds another piece to the larger story of Rice County. It is an inviting reason to take the scenic route and stay awhile.
