Pictured is a bronze sculpture titled Childhood by James Barnhill at station twenty-six of the Asheville Urban Trail in Asheville, North Carolina. The girl drinking at the fountain represents both the promise of youth and the reminiscence of times past when children came to play in Pack Square. She is drinking at a replica of a horsehead fountain on a gas lamp post that once stood on the square. James Barnhill was born in Asheville in 1955 and received his Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
