Virginia Murals

The latest mural was installed in 2020 using historic photos of the Silver Lake Beach and city skyline circa 1950. The 71, 4-x-8-foot aluminum panels cover the entire back wall of the Rocket Liquor building at 528 Chestnut Street in Virginia.

Virginia is well know for its band, flaggers, and pom pom lineup. This mural depicts members who excelled in band throughout the years.

For years, it was a popular activity to “cruise” Virginia’s main street on Friday nights. In recognition of this long-gone tradition, this Mural was born of the local love of classic cars.

This mural, near Bailey’s Lake, extends over 250 feet in length and includes images of veterans who are honored by local families.

Marty Biondich was known for sweeping the streets in front of downtown businesses. He smiled broadly and said hello to all those who passed by. A lover of baseball, Marty could also be found at Little League games with the same enthusiasm for greeting others. He passed away in 1999. Donors were quick to memorialize Marty in this mural.

This mural is in honor of Hartley and Wesley Koski. Never suspected of their accumulated wealth, it was a surprise when Hartley’s death resulted in a donation of $1,050,000 to the Virginia Community Foundation.
