There are 7 panels and together they are 150 feet long.The seventh panel features portraits of prominent donors to the project or of individuals being memorialized by the donors. This mural project was spurred by two of the daughters of one of the former lockmasters and other townspeople. The lockmaster, George Shannon, is one of the figures depicted in the foreground. The girls grew up living in the lockmaster's house that sat on the property by the dam. “They had this wonderful scene in their backyard and had longed for years to recreate it,” Spaulding said. “They knew much of what went on at the riverfront and made suggestions of what should be depicted.”
One subject is a catfish of local lore, known as Scrap Iron Jack. Six feet long and with several metal hooks in him where people had attempted to catch him, the catfish is seen near the rowboat. Skinny dippers were also known to visit the site and they've been included too. There were regulars who fished off the lock wall daily.Please use stealth because of the houses nearby. Sit down and enjoy the murals.
