The Ely Greenstone Public Art project began in 1998
and has sponsored a variety of public art projects
in Ely. This mural was the first of five large murals
created under the auspices of the Ely Greenstone Public
Art group. This 25 x 34-foot mural was painted with
the help of several volunteers over a span of twelve
days. It is located on the side of the Conoco station
at the corner of N. Central Avenue and Sheridan Avenue
(Minnesota Highway 169).
Willam Defenbaugh, Jr. lives and paints in Ely, Minnesota.
