The Pioneers, Ashland Wisconsin Mural Series Pondering this favorite in the Ashland Mural Series brings along many thoughts of these early adventurers. Explorers, Hunters, Trappers, Fishermen, Loggers, Miners, and so many more people who got this area going before it was known as Ashland.

Loading the Big Ships with Ore and Logs, an Ashland Mural Anyone who has spent much time along the shores of Lake Superior in Wisconsin, Minnesota or Michigan as had the opportunity to marvel at the Gigantic ships that travel this deep and mighty waterway.

I always enjoy going by this Mural, it is not one of the official city sponsored murals and it has a certain historical family business aire to it that is always enjoyable. One bonus to this mural is that the artist painted a scene that could have been of this business as it was in the 1800's.
