Murals in Menomonie Announces Mural Location

Mural Location Announcement!

This summer, 200 artists are coming to Menomonie to paint 15 large historic murals in 5 days. Each mural theme tells the story of a part of our community's history.

One of the many notable events in our history was the Kraft State Bank Robbery of 1931. While Francis Keating and Tommy Holden got away temporarily in an animated escape from town, they were later caught on a Kansas City golf course and sent back to Leavenworth Prison, from which they had escaped in 1930.

The Kraft State Bank Robbery mural will be painted at 438 Main Street, the current home of Rising Phoenix martial arts studio.

Project Lead: Kelsey McClellan from Chicago, IL
