Turkeys are among the numerous fanciful creatures from children's storybooks that are reminiscent of the time when Sunshine Cottage was a pediatric tuberculosis sanatorium. Eight turkeys can be found around campus — two Mr. Turkey Gobblers adorn the walkway connecting the MEC driveway to the Alumni House, and six additional turkeys decorate the gated perimeter of Sunshine Cottage.
