Mural Tour, Pontiac, Illinois.
Pontiac currently has over 20 outdoor murals which depict its local commercial, cultural, and political history.
The largest mural is the Route 66 shield found on the back of the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame and Museum.
18 murals were painted by the Walldogs, a collection of sign painters and muralists who came to town in the summer of 2009. The more than 150 artists painted the entire set of 18 murals in just four days.
Free Mural Guides are available at the Route 66 Hall of Fame and Museum, the Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum, the Museum of the Gilding Arts, and City Hall. Or you can follow the red painted footprints on the downtown sidewalks for a comfortable walking tour of all of the murals.
