Welcome to the town of Alton! This cache highlights a local mural. Nearby is a Veterans Memorial, a small park with a gazebo, and a few local establishments.
With the help of some community members, Amber Hansen's mural has become a staple work of art in Alton. This mural was made to recognize the influence of the Luxembourg settlers on Alton's history. The main feature in this mural, the butterflies, are made to symbolize the Luxembourg migration to Northwest Iowa. In short, creating this mural has helped connect the Luxembourg people to their heritage and to the stories that brought them here.
