A new mural is being painted on the south side of the Gun Junction building at 6th and Washington. The project, which is partially completed, is being undertaken by members of the 2015-16 Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Crossroads of Leadership class, with direction from Junction City Arts Council President Michael Gray.

Geary County Commission Chair Florence Whitebread called the mural an eye catcher. “It looks terrific. I think it will do more to upgrade Junction City than anything that has happened here currently or in the past for some time.” Whitebread called the project a great thing to “have happen at a very focal point in the community.”

The mural is based on an “1897 JJ Pennell collection photo named the Five Railroad Section on Hand Wagon.”
