The Hallowell History Mural was installed in June after five years of research, design and painting. It tells the history of Hallowell, from the founding in the mid 1700’s to present. Important early settlers, indigenous people of pre-western history, key townspeople, stone carvers from Hallwoell’s granite industry and much, much more have found a place in the mural.
