Audubon features public art, historic buildings, and recreational sites centered on John James Audubon and local community life. A twenty-one-foot-tall stained glass clock showing Audubon and his dog Zephyr keeps exact Universal time, is lighted at night, was commissioned by the Audubon Masonic Association, and was made by Audubon native and nationally known artist Clint Hansen. At the library entrance, a large tile mural of John James Audubon and a Great Blue Heron was designed by Audubon native and nationally known tile artist Judy Sutcliffe, and the library also has an origami mobile of more than 1,400 cranes called "Free to Fly" by Audubon native Linda Merk; the John James Audubon Cultural Center is located in the 1912 Carnegie Library. A 1942 New Deal post office mural by Brooklyn artist Virginia Snedeker depicts John James Audubon and his party on their journey down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. More than twenty miles of the T-Bone Trail offer bikers, walkers, and hikers an accessible paved route through the countryside, with access in Audubon at the John James Audubon Plaza in the City Park and at Albert the Bull Park, as well as in Hamlin, Exira, Brayton, and Cass County; the trail is also part of the proposed CROSS-USA American Discovery Trail from Delaware to Oregon. Ceramic tile mosaics throughout downtown and the John James Audubon Plaza display replicas of Audubon's Birds of America prints. In the center of the City Park, a life-sized bronze statue of John James Audubon, created in 1996 by Audubon native Russ Christensen, stands amid native plantings and a water feature showing Audubon painting in a natural setting. The Veteran's Eagle, given through a gift to the Audubon Lions Club from Lion and veteran Bill Roth as a tribute to all veterans, is made of steel with a stainless steel head and tail, has a nine-foot wingspan, and is supported ten feet in the air. In the City Park, the stage includes a steel sculpture by Arnie Jirsa with corn stalks and seventeen native birds and animals.
