Location of mural: side of former Fred Dollar Store, 150 Public Square, Batesville
The mural is painted inside black lines trying to trick the eye into believing they are recessed into arched windows along side the building.
The panels contribute to the saving old history in Batesville.
1. shows downtown way back when and two horses in a "tractor" pull old style
2. Commercial, inside a store, a freight horse draw wagon, and a man and daughter standing on the running board of a Model T Ford
3. shows a train above the old courthouse, the old depot and the old school all of which are gone
4. Welcome sign, a couple men fishing, farmer's fields, and the flag.
The building was built in 1946 altered after tornado damage in 1978 and remodeled again in 1997
