Turkey Hill Cow
Paradise, PA
 Turkey Hill Cow
Ocean City, MD
The Turkey Hill Cow is a mobile exhibit which has been traveling around Pennsylvania and beyond since 1967. The statue was parked in front of Sweets for Sweeties when I saw it in 2006. In 2009, I spotted the statue at the Convention and Visitors Center in Ocean City. I think this was the same statue that I saw in Pennsylvania. Turkey Hill now has three traveling cows but it sounds like the other two are red and white.

Clarion, PA
 Cow
Wilkes-Barre, PA
The Cow in Clarion stands at the former George Farms dairy farm. For more, see this website. [map]

The Cow in Wilkes-Barre previously stood in front of Gorman's Dairy. The statue seems to be at the same location now but the Dairy building is gone. The cow is or was nicknamed "Dinah Three-O-Ninah", a reference to her location on Route 309. The cow was multi-colored for several years but was repainted back to its original brown and white around 2002. Since these photos from 2004, development has sprung up around the car. She is holding her ground behind a white fence. [map]

The Southwest Dairy Museum features two of these cow statues. The black and white Holstein named "Buttercup" was installed in front of the museum in 1995. The brown and white Jersey named "Creampuff" was installed here in 1997. These photos are from 2011. [map]

Chatty Belle
Neillsville, WI
 Sissy the Cow
DeForest, WI
Chatty Belle talks if you stick a quarter in the box next to her. She once has a non-talking son, a smaller cow named Bullet, standing next to her. However, by 2003, he was gone. Chatty was part of the Wisconsin exhibit at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The Wisconsin Pavilion, also at the World's Fair, was reassembled next to Chatty. For more, see this website. [map]

Sissy the Cow is another 19-foot-tall, 20-foot-long Holstein made of steel and fiberglass. Sissy is the mascot of Ehlenbach's Cheese Chalet. She has a voicebox but it has been broken for many years. I believe this cow has been here since the late 1960s. [map]

Cow
Waukesha, WI
This Cow in Waukesha, aka Gertrude, was installed in front of the Golden Guernsey Dairy when these photos were taken in 2007. You could only photograph her through the fence since the company was very tight about security. The dairy closed in 2013 and the plant was sold to Lifeway. The Cow statue remains. [map]

Bessie the Cow was installed in front of the Oasis Restaurant, Motel and Cheese Shop in the 1960s. In 2006, the businesses closed and the buildings were demolished. Bessie was saved through public outcry. When the photos above were taken in 2007, construction was going on all around the statue. After a complete restoration, the statue was returned to the site in 2008. For more, see this website. [map]
