As you can tell the mural is in serious disrepair. Since it is no longer visible to the average visitor to Ash Grove, being between the buildings, I guess they just let it be neglected. The train mural a block down the street is well kept.
The mural is of the Nathan Boone home (in oval highlight) and the downtown scene of Ash Grove itself during a turn-of-the-century snap shot - with buggies and bustles.
