In 2019, 2020, and 2021 a local artist (Bayne Gardner) has added murals on local businesses back alley walls. Part of the fun is connecting the particular show with the image chosen! Many are near the original mural.

Polson, Montana - Miracle of America Museum
This place is stunning in its sheer size; I was speechless around every corner. It definitely has a particularly rosy point of view about America -- the kind of point of view people cling to. The museum founder is a war veteran, and this is his view of what he fought for. He's not wrong in his memory, just one-sided. As history, it has its place, but don't expect to be pleasantly surprised about its inclusiveness.
