Permanent Exhibit:  Tile Murals, located at both

 In 1999,
resident artists conceived and designed two, 2-sided,
5'x8', free standing ceramic tile murals depicting the
storied history and natural attractions of Hinsdale
County.

During the spring and summer of 2000, scores of
residents, school children, and visitors to the county
impressed designs into the individual tiles and glazed
them to be fired and added to the murals, making this
a true community arts project.
