Ottawa Celebration Of Progress
175th Anniversary Mural

A mural is being painted on the West side of Heringhaus Furniture in downtown Ottawa depicting three eras of Ottawa's progress through the years. The artists that are painting this are Oscar Velasquez of Bluffton  and Bruce Stowe of Ottawa.

The mural will be 18 feet by 78 feet and will be a blend of both artists ideas of what it should represent. The first era will be 1834-1892, the second 1892-1950 and the final will be 1950-2009.

The artists hope to have the mural completed for the 175 year celebration that Ottawa will hold on June 20, 2009. Weather permitting this will be possible.

    The Village of Ottawa is accepting donations that will be put towards this mural . Donors that give $500.00 or more will find a spot on a plaque on the mural.
