The mural depicts a couple standing along the St Johns River sometime in the late 1800's. A steamboat is making its way to what was once a thriving commercial and vacation hub along the St Johns River.
The river plays a very important part in the history of Palatka. The Palatka Historic District is rich with culture, art, and architecture as well as a wealth of history, including monuments and memorials to those who served our country as far back as the Civil War.
Come visit Palatka and be charmed by this area!
