Salem Sue, Fiberglass roadside monument in New Salem, United States
Salem Sue stands 38 feet tall and stretches 50 feet long, constructed from reinforced fiberglass sections weighing a total of 12,000 pounds.
The New Salem Lions Club commissioned this Holstein cow statue in 1974 for $40,000, funded through local donations and dairy industry subsidies.
The statue represents the strong dairy farming traditions of New Salem, where the local high school teams carry the name Holsteins.
Visitors can reach Salem Sue by taking Interstate 94 exit 127 and following the gravel road up School Hill, with a donation can available for maintenance.
The statue overlooks agricultural lands from its position on School Hill, visible from neighboring counties and serving as a reference point for travelers.
