This mural sets the tone for the project with its depiction of the three dominant cultures of the South - Native American, African American and White - featured in the brightly colored arches. Portrayed at the bases of the arches are native plants and crops, while in the circles at the tops are insects beneficial to agriculture. Visitors enjoy seeing how many of the plants and insects they can name. Pictured between the arches, and serving as pillars holding up the mural, are people who work the land.
These images symbolize the role of farming as the economic pillar that holds up the economy of this community and of the entire state of Georgia. Agriculture is Georgia's top industry, followed by tourism... so welcome to our little town, which celebrates both enterprises. Many stories are woven into this mural. Feel free to make up your own tales or read more about ours in Swamp Gravy books which are sold at Tarrer Inn and Market on the Square. Our thanks go to the management of Rite Aid and William King, owner of the building, for allowing us to put the mural here.
