Its official! The subject, the location, the time, the artists and potential fundraising for Kewanee’s 20th Walldog historical mural are set.
As previously announced, the subject will be the Walworth Manufacturing Company and its predecessors, which started very small in 1868 and reached huge proportions in the 1900s before coming to an end in Kewanee in 1978.
The location, according to Dianne Packee, the Walldog Mural Committee chairwoman, will be the east side of the City of Kewanee’s maintenance building located in the 500 block of North Main Street. The City Council gave its approval at a recent council meeting.
