“Black Aggie” is the same statue (I think) somewhere else. This is the original sculpture by St. Gaudens. It has a long name, but most people refer to it simply as “Grief.”

I know they had to move Black Aggie because she was constantly being molested/vandalized by those who wanted to find out if the legend was true.

[which is utterly stupid, if you think about it] LOL

There was a *huge* legal uproar over Aggie vs Grief as St Gaudens’ work was copied to make Aggie and much litigation ensued.

Still, that cemetery is a must-see for my list.

Another is the boneyard in Balto.

Sadly, the “neighborhood” beside of it makes visiting that one with lots of pricey camera equipment hanging off one’s self a bit perilous.
