When the Town of East Granby converted the Viets farmstead into a public park they left the landmark L. H. Viets silo intact. Not only has the concrete silo been preserved they commissioned a mural to be painted on the silo. The mural completely covers the silo from top to bottom. It depicts a bucolic scene with farm animals at the bottom, the western hills in the background and the sky above.
Left intact was the original lettering:
L. H. VIETS
