The bradley mural
The 2023 Wi Main Street Awards Best historic restoration project -  Honorable mention recipient

Twenty years ago, a group of artists shared their love of the arts by creating murals in our historic downtown.  One was the mural dedicated to our founding Father, William H. Bradley.  Through the years, the elements had been unkind; our mission - breathe life back into what many describe as a must-stop picture opportunity for our area.

​

We were lucky to procure Andy Goretski from Custom Murals, a local artist, to do the restoration.  Not only is Andy extremely talented, but he was one of the original artists involved in the project.  Andy brought his gift, paintbrushes, and a big heart to the store side, and he delivered!  Mr. Bradley once again stands out, and even the smallest details pop, like the polka dots on Mr. Bradley’s bowtie.  From cleaning up details, such as the correct death date that was mistaken years before, to the more detailed tree bough running inside the mural, there is no doubt how proud we are of our heritage and the gratitude felt for the man behind the town.
