The Dalles Mural Society is responsible for the beautiful murals painted on the sides of several buildings around the historic downtown area. The murals depict famous moments in history magnificently illustrated by renowned northwest artists. A cultural and educational experience for all ages, every mural features a legend which tells the story of its illustrated historic event. The Dalles,
Oregon marks the end of The Oregon Trail and was the milestone for
the hundreds of thousands of people who successfully participated in
the greatest peacetime migration in the history of mankind. The
murals present a life-size look at history in the making. Some of
the murals have "talking boxes" for which you can purchase a key to
be able to listen to the narrative. Keys can be purchased at various
businesses and at The
Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce. |
