A long time ago, a tunnel was built beneath Fourth Street so that schoolchildren could safely cross the busy street to go to and from Fremont School, which used to be where the present-day courthouse stands.

Recently, a mural honoring the memory of Fremont School and the schoolchildren was painted on the Fourth Street underpass. It's an amazing mural, full of life and brilliant colors.

It brightens up the tunnel so nicely! Makes it such a friendly place.

ReplyDeleteThat's for sure. :-)
DeleteA great idea for a mural. Love the colors and the kids.
ReplyDeleteOriginally, the plan was to commemorate the county courthouse. I'm glad they went with the school.
