To encourage tourism to their city, Chester Illinois embarked on an amazing journey to commemorate the characters of E.C. Segar's Thimble Theater in stone. Nineteen and counting, the statues feature both well known and more obscure favorites. If you find yourself nearby with a few hours to spare, it's worth the time to track down each statue for yourself.
