Town well & goat
|
|
One hot day in 1906, a goat wandered into downtown Montgomery. He hung around the well, quickly realizing that kind people would pull up water for him to drink. While casually walking through town, he also realized that he would receive food and other beverages from patrons at various establishments throughout town. The goat's stay in Montgomery extended and people looked forward to seeing him when they came to town. Today, this story symbolizes the friendliness and generosity of the people of Montgomery to our neighbors and visitors.
In 2006, the Montgomery Civic Association placed a goat statue at the corner of College and McCown Streets to bring attention to the story through public art.
