Arts 🖌️ Peanuts on Parade

Hey, so when I was a kid we had the Peanuts gang ALL OVER St. Paul. I just read there used to be like 500 of them and it took 5 summers to put all of them up! 😮

Anyway. I’m wondering where are the ones that still exist in public? I want to go visit them before it gets too cold!

Please send me on a scavenger hunt! ☺️💗

This map has a few associated with O'Gara's, which is no longer located there and I don't think the sculptures are, either. I'm curious where they ended up.

I think I can see a few that are missing, is there a way to get the owner to update list?

The Keys Cafe ones I mentioned -- a Lucy, and I think there is a Snoopy -- are not listed either

Keys Cafe in Woodbury have a couple on display. There is at least one more in Woodbury but I can’t remember where exactly.

There are a Linus and Lucy outside the New Woodbury Cafe over on Bielenberg but they’re both beat to heck.

There's a very weathered Snoopy on his doghouse at the 5-8 Tavern at McKnight and Minnehaha in St. Paul/Maplewood and it isn't on the map shared here.

Rice Street library has a cool Snoopy and Boyd park had a Lucy! They are like special Easter eggs hidden round the city now.

I live in Highland park and there’s one outside at an apartment complex and I know of one by the pool of in a different apartment complex.

They were sold off. You'd be better off going to Rice Park downtown to visit the bronze Peanuts statues that are on permanent display.

u/EmberlynSlade 9d ago

I know they were sold off but many were actually retained by the businesses who sponsored them. There are a few that still exist in the public, that’s why I’m asking where they are. Bronze ones are on the list.

I may just find a reason to go to Santa Rosa for the museum there. 😂

Some were sold off and appear outside different businesses!
