What I’m Reading:

Mural mania is sweeping across western New York with an emphasis on canal towns. It got its grassroots beginning in Lyons and the “mania” is tagging the villages along the canal. Generally, the murals depict early life along the canal in the hopes of preserving the history of this period through art.

The mural trail features 75+ murals spanning over 100 miles.

A high concentration of murals is located in Wayne County with 54, each telling a different story.
