The Greenfield Mural, first painted by volunteers from the community in 1990, was originally the brain child of Rebecca Tippens and her friend and nationally recognized community muralist Janet Braun Reinitz, who together saw the big wall adjacent to the Veterans Mall park beckoning for vibrancy. The Veterans Mall committee agreed, and they came up with the theme for the mural to complement the Veterans Park memorial: to honor those things of Franklin County that we have loved whether in memory or presence.
In 2017, the mural, whose colors were fading, was repainted, and images added reflecting the changes in what we do and cherish.
