This mural is painted on the east brick wall of a one-story building at 1140 E. Main (between 6th and 7th Streets). We saw no signature or indication of the date or artist.
At the south end of the mural is a locomotive and several railroad workers. Railroads always played a significant part in the history of small Oklahoma towns. North of this is a depiction of a depot with an old car in front, and to the right, a track with a railroad car. At the north end of the mural is an oilfield truck with a sign Hewitt Oilfield, and an oil derrick. The Oklahoma oil boom had a large role in the activities of Wilson back in the 1920's and 1930's.
