Historic narrative:

The project was started in the spring of 2017.  The executive board at the grange desired to have a mural referencing historical elements the area is known for, fruit trees, primarily apples, and dairy.  The design is a collage of reference material provided to the artist by the Grange ladies, and includes a milk bottle from the Oaks farm (a well known dairy that was in the area) and elements from the label for Rose Brand Evaporated Apples which was also a local business from the area.

 

The composition of the mural is an eight-foot square with a plywood backing.  It depicts icons historically known to the area done in linear perspective.


The artist is Mark Williams (an art teacher at the North Rose-Wolcott School District)
