The Famous “Bird Girl” statue by Sylvia
Shaw Judson made famous by the bestselling novel and
movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil”,
by John Berendt, are available in four
sizes. These are the very best versions of the original “Bird
Girl” statues that exist. There are many bad imitations of
the “Bird Girl” statue in the marketplace, but none
of them capture the beauty of serenity of the original like ours.

One of Savannah’s favorite stories involves the life of Florence Martus (1868-1943) who was known as the Waving Girl. Legend has it that Florence fell in love with a handsome young sailor from a distant port (some say Greece or Italy) who asked her to marry him upon his return to Savannah, then sailed off in to the horizon. She never saw him again, but took up the practice of waving her long apron to greet each ship which entered Savannah’s harbor. This went on for 44 years! Located at the eastern end of River Street, overlooking the Savannah River, the Waving Girl statue by renowned sculptor Felix De Weldon depicts Florence with her loyal collie. |

Little Gracie Watson was
born in 1883, the only child of her parents.
Her Father was manager of the Pulaski House, one of Savannah’s
leading hotels, where the beautiful and charming little girl was
a favorite with the guest. One of her favorite hiding places was
under the stairwell of the hotel.
Two days before Easter, in April 1889, Gracie died of pneumonia
at the age of six. Immediately after her death, the staff constantly
reported hearing Little Gracie laughing and playing near the stairwell.
The site of the hotel is now a bank, and to this day sounds of Little
Gracie have been reported coming from the location of the original
stairwell.
In 1890, when the rising sculptor, John Walz,
moved to Savannah, he carved from a photograph a life-sized, delicately
detailed marble statue, which for almost a century has captured
the interest of all that visit her gravesite in Savannah’s
Bonaventure Cemetery.
Now you can also enjoy this exquisite twelve inch replica of Little
Gracie in your home or garden.
