Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, Bronze sculpture garden in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Five bronze sculptures depicting Dr. Seuss characters stand across three areas near the Springfield Library, including a 14-foot Horton the Elephant and the Cat in the Hat.
The garden opened in 2002 after six years of creation by sculptor Lark Grey Dimond-Cates, the stepdaughter of Theodor Seuss Geisel, to honor his literary contributions.
The Springfield Museums location features characters from beloved children's books that introduced generations of young readers to imaginative storytelling through visual art.
The memorial garden welcomes visitors at 21 Edwards Street in Springfield's Quadrangle district, with information available through the Springfield Museums at 413-263-6800.
A bronze statue shows Theodor Geisel working at his desk next to the Cat in the Hat, capturing the creative process of the author in his hometown.
