Elsie the Cow’s Grave
Who is the first “spokes-animal” you remember?
If you are over twenty-five chances are it is Elsie the Cow, the spokes-cow for Borden Dairies.
Around before the Energizer Bunny, the Quick Bunny and even Morris the cat, Elsie was THE symbol of milk for many a generation.
You can visit the original Elsie the Cow’s grave (originally Elsie was named Lobelia) in Plainsboro, NJ. A few miles NE of Princeton. From Rt. 1 go east on Scudder’s Mill Road, then right at the Plainsboro Rd. connector onto Plainsboro Rd. After going over a small bridge, take the first right into the Walker-Gordon housing development and park in the first lot on the right.
The headstone is to the right next to the little gazebo, right down by the pond.
