Barstow, California is another western city with a long tradition of community mural projects. Kathy Fierro drew the outlines of this mural, and then about a dozen local muralists completed the painting in ten-and-a-half hours. This page shows the muralists creating their masterpiece.

Barstow's Main Street is also historic Route 66. Visitors can take a walking tour of eight murals depicting historical scenes. Take a virtual tour here.

Update March 2025 (RTA): Main St. Murals has a new site here.
