About 80 years ago, or so, a circus train wrecked along the tracks in Duluth.  All the animals got out.  The monkeys ran all the way to the Summerour House on Old Alabama Road.  There they got up in the trees.  The farmers had never seen monkeys, so the farmers shot and killed every one of them.  Several years ago an artist brought those concrete monkeys that are on Autrey Mill's trail.  He said he wanted people to wonder why they were there.  They are there to remind people that just because you don't know what something is, that's no reason to kill it.
