For all her widespread reputation, this lady is a thoroughbred. Her origin is of the best and though she is getting old now, she is still beautiful, poised, graceful. She has had her troubles but, like all thoroughbreds, she bears them with dignity. She once had four lovely children. Only one is left.
People talk, but where the others are now no one really knows.
She used to have four companions too but only three have remained faithful. This lady has kept at her post undaunted through the years - a proud symbol of Montgomery. She is the lady on the fountain at Court Square and one of Montgomery's oldest citizens for she has been here since 1886. Back in 1817 people didn't buy land in the wilderness that was to be the state of Alabama. Not many people wanted it at all and those who did could get it by entering claims.
