Jaguar Sculpture Coming To Horsham Township Library

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —As Elmwood Park Zoo plans to celebrate its 100th anniversary next year, zoo representatives are making the rounds presenting their centennial project.

At Monday's Township Council meeting, zoo officials discussed their "Centennial Prowl Art Installation Movement" to set "jaguars loose" across Montgomery County.

The project isn't real jaguars, of course, but uniquely-themed sculptures that will be displayed countywide, zoo officials said.

And Horsham Township will be getting a sculpture.

The Township Council presented the zoo with a $10,000 check which will sponsor a jaguar sculpture designed by a local artist.

The sculpture will serve as a local attraction and community photo-op at the Horsham Township Library through 2026, township officials said.

"We're thrilled to support the Elmwood Park Zoo's efforts to continue its programs, projects, operations, and animal care," township officials said in a Facebook post.

Township officials said they will provide updates on when the sculpture will be installed.

Township officials also said they will also partner with the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board for an upcoming tourism drive.
