The city of Macomb, IL is well-known for it's connection to Abraham Lincoln and to the creator of Monopoly, Lizzie Magie, but it's gaining eyeballs for something else: murals! Murals are poulating spaces around Macomb thanks to the creation of the Macomb Mural Project in 2018.
Beginning with the inaugural dedication of The Old Dairy Mural, the project was designed with the goal of inspiring other organizations and community members to create their own murals, and since 2018 at least one new mural a year has been unveiled in and around Macomb’s Historic Courthouse Square. We're excited about the project catching on throughout Forgottonia’s McDonough County.
In this Adventure we'll be visiting Macomb's mesmerizing murals, from their Old Dairy mural full of cows and cream to their C.T. Vivian mural visiting the vital moments from Vivian's life. Are you ready to see some awe-inspiring artistic expressions?
