Abilene community partners have announced that the ribbon cutting for the "Abilene Celebrates America 250!" mural will take place on Thursday, August 29, at 5 p.m. at the General Dwight D. Eisenhower Post #3279, at 317 N Spruce in downtown Abilene.
This colorful mural, created by Mindy’s Murals, stands as a testament to Abilene's rich heritage and patriotic spirit. The project was made possible through the support of the Community Foundation of Dickinson County, General Dwight D. Eisenhower Post #3279, Abilene Chapter NSDAR and a NSDAR America 250! Celebration grant, as well as the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau.
We’re proud to showcase Abilene’s newest mural and Kansas’ first America 250 mural,” said Julie Roller Weeks, director of the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We hope this is the first of many projects focused on celebrating our nation’s founding.”
Attendees are encouraged to stay after the ceremony to enjoy the 5th Annual Downtown Boutique Crawl.
