Giddy-Up Daddy: Bil Keane Horsy Ride Statue

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is a beloved gem in the community. Something for everyone there. Museums for the adults and lots of stuff for the kids. Definitely take the train ride if you have the time. The model train building is the newest addition and there's always work going on. Lots of friendly folks working the layouts and lots of cool details for everyone to enjoy. The ice cream shop is Family Circus-themed and has great ice cream!

There is a dotted line next to the statue that leads to the building that will eventually house the Family Circus Museum!
