This one made the Baltimore news after Lowell Melser picked up the controversy of several locals who thought the mural was too descriptive for public art.

The idea proved to be a hot topic that had many people talking about forgotten local history, our wild past, public art, easthetic beauty, and our town.

the susquehannock Indians are an often misrepresented story in our history books. We are trying to tell the story blunt and honestly.
