Erected in 1927, the statue honors Mary Sawyer, a Sterling resident who, according to legend, brought her pet lamb to school in the early 19th century, inspiring the poem written by John Roulstone and later popularized by Sarah Josepha Hale. The charming statue, depicting Mary with her lamb, stands as a nostalgic tribute to childhood innocence and the enduring legacy of one of America's most beloved nursery rhymes, drawing visitors and history enthusiasts to the quaint New England town.
