Exploring the 10 iconic Walpole features of the Main Street Mural
The newly completed downtown mural extending a friendly “Greetings from Walpole” message is located on the Donahue Real Estate building at 954 Main Street in the walkway connecting the main municipal parking lot to Main Street shops and businesses. The colorful painting brings us around the town and across the seasons, highlighting ten iconic features that are sure to be recognized by long-time Walpole residents. From left to right we travel across the four seasons, starting with the bloom of spring and ending with the chill of winter. A description of each feature is provided with the numbered mural map below. A QR code on the lower right of the painting also allows visitors to view the feature descriptions from their phones. Stop by the mural site next time you are downtown and experience this colorful townscape in person!
“Greetings from Walpole” was designed and painted by artist Ruby Rose with installation assistance from local Walpole artist Jonathan Stasiukevicius. The project was developed by the non-profit organization Destination Downtown and funded entirely by private donations from residents and local businesses. The group is currently making plans to improve the landscaping in the area adjacent to the mural, and seeking other ideas for downtown enhancements.
