Small Town Mural

This mural is on the side of a pharmacy in the small nearby town of Crozet. Fifth grade students studied the history of their town, and with the help of a local artist they traced and painted this. It shows the history of their town and surrounding area. It took a year






“Growing up in a small town was great because you knew everybody, and it was horrible because everybody knew you — like having a town full of parents.”
