The wall mural is gorgeous and much prettier when you see it in person. Nearby you'll find the Taylor County War Memorial which honors our nation's heroes who served and died in defense of our country during World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. It's a beautiful memorial that sits right in the park. We definitely paid our respects while we were there. History buffs are going to enjoy visiting these historical markers too!
