I love these sculptures! These very cool Season of Life Sculptures are located in Dargan Park at Madison & Fountain Sts. They represent Childhood and Youth, Middle Age and Old Age. This park is a bit off Route 66 proper, but I think they are well worth taking a few minutes to visit and contemplate.

Carved into stones along the path that winds between the sculptures are Greek maxims that read:

"Maxims in Greek Script found on a stone over 2000 years ago"

"As young men learn to control the passions"

"In middle age be just"

"In old age give good advice and then die without regret"

"All things change and we change with them
