Charleston.com recently received a message from a visitor asking about the dancing girl statue in Battery Park:

Is there any info you can give me regarding the little girl fountain in Battery Park? Is there a name for it, a story behind it, was it a commissioned item? My husband and I recently visited Charleston and thought the town was beautiful. We would appreciate any info you could give me regarding this fountain, my husband and I would very much like to get one like it.
Thanks very much. Have a great day.
