Maysville Murals
Ohio History
Limestone Landing
Maysville Riverfront
Leaving Ripley behind, we’ve now crossed the Ohio River into Maysville, Kentucky. Can you guess on what we saw these amazing paintings? I’ll give you one clue: they’re huge!! And they all show a bit of Maysville’s history. Scenes range from Indians hunting buffalo to steamboats on the river. “Limestone Landing” (above) portrays settlers first arriving here in flatboats in 1780. In the lower scene, Maysville bustles with steam-driven trains and coal barge towboats of the 1900s. What creative history!

Those are incredibly impressive!
That must have been something to see.
It must have been fun to watch them being painted!
Is it the side of a building?
