In Attleborough, within the World War I Memorial Park and Zoo, is a building that has murals painted on two sides

The park is located off Elmwood Street (Mass. Route 106). Follow the main road to the petting zoo location, park, then walk up the paved path to the zoo and the building on the right. There is no admission fee to enter the park or zoo.

The mural on the front of the building is painted mostly light blue for the sky, with dark green for grass, and dark blue for a stream on the left side. Several animals are painted on the mural, including moose, bison, birds and several small animals. One garage door is painted to match the mural, while the other is white with a design with butterflies that appears to have been installed after the mural was painted.

On the side, there is another scene of a lily pond with lillies and a person with a stringed instrument crouched while looking at the coy fish. There is a turtle at the bottom.

Not much else could be found about the mural. In the center, above the window and bulletin board, there is a short statement, "This mural is dedicated to the memory of Nathan Champagne."
