From the towns website and brochure:
"Main Street is bustling as farmers bring their various products to the grain elevators and the feed mill. Families spend time visiting friends and doing their shopping – a tradition that is still carried on today. The mural depicts the time period from 1911-1920s on the east side (bottom) while showing life in the 1940s and 1950s on the west side (top). There are over fifty local residents shown in this mural."

This mural is kind of tucked off Main Street, even though that is what it depicts. Be sure not to miss it as there is an opportunity to identify many of the buildings in town that are still in existance. How many can you find? How many of them have murals on them?
