Emily the Cow Statue

Sherborn, MA

A bronze cow marks the grave of Emily, who escaped a slaughterhouse in 1995 and survived hidden in the woods for weeks before being rescued by the Peace Abbey. She became a local symbol of animal welfare, and the memorial preserves one of Massachusetts' strangest animal-escape stories.
