Mural Descriptions

    The Cherokee Homestead Exhibit mural illustrates elements of Cherokee culture and provides a background for the structures at the Cherokee Homestead Exhibit. Informational kiosks enable visitors to conduct a self-guided tour. The exhibit is one of five locations along the 2-mile Quanassee Path: A Cherokee History Trail in downtown Hayesville. Artists for the mural and accompanying metal sculptures: Barbara Bussolari, Suzi Hall, Joe Miller and Ella Sheuer. (mural address: 805 US Hwy 64 Business)

     The Cherokee Chief Mural painted by Doreyl Ammons Cain, this Postage Stamp mural celebrates the life of Chief Nimrod Jarrett Smith of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. On the Eastern Band of Cherokee reservation, 3rd Principle Chief Nimrod Jarrett Smith (Tsaladihi.) made great changes for the Cherokee. A well-educated and well-spoken man, he was fluent in both Cherokee and English. He was elected Principal Chief in 1880 upon the death of his immediate predecessor, Lloyd Welch. He exercised unprecedented power over and influence among the Eastern Cherokee working actively for official US.. government recognition for the band as a tribe under federal law and was successful. He was also chiefly responsible for the incorporation of the Eastern Band as a legal entity by the North Carolina legislature.

    The Mountain Valley Park mural provides a background and focal point for this beautiful and restful pocket park created by the Clay County Master Gardener Volunteer Association. The mural was designed by Hayesville High School art students Brittany Bower, Brook Muzik and Josh Winkler under the direction of art teacher Natalie Manget. (address: 33 Main Street which is three blocks from the Cherokee Homestead Exhibit)

As a member of Carolina Street Mural group, I learned about The Appalachian Mural Trail! After reviewing your web page. I planned my road trips to locate the trail murals, reflect on them and photograph memories of my trip!

We have been getting much more traffic around our murals, and a lot of it is due to the publicity from your organization!
Thank you!
We will unveil our newest (and largest) mural on September 4th.

I love what you folks are doing. Several years ago we went to Exeter California to see their Mural trail. We spent hours in this little town looking at the murals and trying to find the hidden objects in each. We talked with the towns people, had lunch, shopped in the shops. I love the mural trails, and yours is going to be one of the best. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Art is everywhere in Asheville! This gorgeous mural of Dolly Parton by Gus Cutty is the newest mural you'll see in town. Gus created the mural with spray paint in 3 days. See it for yourself at Beauty Parade on Haywood Rd in West Asheville.
