Elmwood itself offers a vast array of history which cannot be discussed without the mention of Lorado taft, who was born in Elmwood. He is one of the most respect and well-know sculptors of the twentieth century. In the middle of the Spoon River Scenic Drive's Elmwood site, you can enjoy his sculpture, "The Pioneers", which was unveiled on May 27, 1928. Additional works are on display at the Morrison and Mary Wiley Library as well as the Lorado Taft Museum - also located in Elmwood.
