In late September when traveling from Shipshewana Indiana to Sugarcreek Ohio we stopped briefly in Ligonier, Indiana.
The murals all depict historical places, businesses, and events. No tax money has been used for the murals. All money and time has been donated by local foundations, individuals, businesses, and industries, even to the bronze plaques on each mural.

There are now a total of 31 murals. Artists have been chosen from Bronson, Mich.; Winona Lake, Ind.; Goshen, Ind.; Butternut, Wis.; Kendallville, Ind.; and Albion, Ind. from the Dept. of Corrections at Chain O’ Lakes State Park.
It would have been fun to go on a hunt to spot all 31 but we were in a time crunch to get to our destination for the night. They offer a map on the city web page showing where the murals are located.

Hope your Monday is going well.

Now this is a proper community effort and the results are terrific! I love these nostalgic murals.
My first thought was: what tongue-twisters those Indiana town names are! My second was: how cool to have so many murals in one town!
Such wonderful looks back in time.
It would be fun to scout them all out. Oh well, you’ll just have to visit again!
Beautiful! How did we miss those?
Judy these were on the route that Harv, Bev, and we took to Ohio instead of the toll road.
Murals are so fascinating! I am sure you enjoyed seeing the ones you found. I think it’s such a great idea for a town/city!
A city of murals, that’s a nice find!
You gotta love a town that claims pride in their mural art and where citizens fund the effort. Thanks for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.
