The United State’s semiquincentennial, or 250th birthday, is coming up in 2026. Across the country, there will be celebrations and events honoring our nation’s history.

To prepare for the anniversary, The Ohio Arts Council and America 250-Ohio have unveiled Murals Across Ohio, a website honoring the murals found within the state’s 88 counties.

The site currently has information on 47 pieces, with plans to add more than 100. Each of these works represent a part of the area’s history.

Several murals in the Dayton area are currently featured. This includes the late Aka Pereyma‘s “Sunrise, Sunset,” found in Troy, and Atalie Gagnet‘s “See Yourself in Tipp.”
