Dr. Seuss at Everman Park
/
The original town lots for Abilene were sold from Everman Park in 1880. The park has adapted with changing times, from cowboys racing horses to the home of modem artwork and Dr. Seuss sculptures. The park was named in 1914 after John Everman, an officer of the rail company. Today, it hosts community events, serves as a backdrop for family photos and attracts tourists year round.
The Abilene Cultural Affairs Council raised the funds needed to purchase six Seuss sculptures from the Seuss Foundation - Cat in the Hat, Lorax, the Grinch, Horton, Sam I Am and Yertle the Turtle.
