Rankin Mural
Ohio History
Path Across the River
And now, we’re back to the Underground Railroad! This mural portrays slaves on the verge of crossing the river to freedom. The quilts guide the safe way across the river to the “beacon on the hill” (see the Rankin house at the top?). These amazing murals were painted on the Maysville floodwall! The towering cement wall has protected the town from many river floods while, at the same time, showcasing some vivid historical scenes.

That's great for the children to grow up learning from.
Wonderful! What a vision!
Must have been expensive to build but probably saved a lot of money in damages.
