Puxsy Phil Statues
There are 41 large, decorated statutes of weather-forecasting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil hidden around town, all of them different. Super fun to come across them and try to find them all! You can get a map at the Chamber of Commerce.

The glass along the outside viewing area is kind of hard to see through. Would recommend going inside while library is open.

It's now called Phil's Burrow. He can be seen from outside through the glass from dawn 'til dusk, or from inside in the children's section of the public library during open hours.
