A years-long process has come to a completion with the installation of the Newton Murals & Arts Project’s latest project last week on Main Street. The artwork features Newton and Kansas symbols and images, including a meadowlark, Newton flag, water tower, railroad tracks, Old Mill, Harvey House girl, Santa Fe railroad emblem and saloon doors. The mural is called the Newton Historic Mural, which is located in Railroad Park. The mural is hard to miss driving north on Main Street, as it stands on the west side of the road just before the train tracks. The freestanding structure is done in saturated colors and was designed by Andrea Braker, a member of the board.
