A new mural honoring the history of the California, Oregon, and Santa Fe Trails was recently completed by artist Julie Heide on the Independence Square. You can find it on the east side of S. Osage between Maple and Lexington Avenues. Find it on foot or see it from one of the beloved Pioneer Trails Adventures wagon rides around the square.

Building owners Travis and Breen Gensler commissioned the artwork.
