A America 250 Mural Ribbon Cutting ceremony and reception will be held at The Gallery at James & Law on Main Street in downtown Clarksburg on Friday, May 22 at 1 p.m.
The 10 foot by 20 foot wide mural, “The Future Through the Glass of Time” by artist Amber Penland, depicts children in a “grandmother’s house setting” looking through a window towards symbols of the industries that built Harrison County, including coal, agriculture, health care and aerospace.
There are also nods to the Italian heritage and glass-making industry of the county.
The mural was funded by a grant for $5,000 from the West Virginia Tourism Mural Trail Program.
The Clarksburg History Museum applied for and received the funding.
