This mural is located on the side of the Old Town
Bar & Restaurant
On US Highway 2 in Superior, Wisconsin.
What makes it especially interesting to us is the
tower on the hill on the right side of the mural (on
the ridge above the grain elevators). That tower,
which looks a little like a lighthouse, is actually
the eighty-foot stone Enger Tower which stands at
the top of Enger Park. Enger Tower was dedicated in
1939 by the then Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess
Martha of Norway and was named in honor of a local
businessman (and native Norwegian). The contributors
of this mural (as well as several of the roadside
marvels found on this site) live a couple of miles
away, so we consider this a snapshot of their home.
We have been unable to identify the artist of the
mural pictured above. We we will update this page
if you know the artist's name and send us the information.
