Stony Plain Murals

The Murals Program was initiated in 1989 to preserve and celebrate our heritage. Since that time, the Town of Stony Plain has been recreating its history through an aggressive Murals Program. To date there are over 30 life-size murals, one six-foot statue of Sheriff Israel Umbach and 2 statues at Town Office, as a celebration of our Town's 100th Birthday in 2008. Magnificent outdoor paintings and sculptures, created by artists from across Canada, depict the rich history of our community. From early postal service to our first Town Sheriff to our aboriginal heritage Stony Plain’s legacy lives on through the art. An attraction that is ‘always open’ Stony Plain’s Murals are a unique way to take you back in time.

Here is a picture of one of the oldest murals.
