immerse yourself in the
Walldog Murals
During the Summer of 2006 and 2019, Jacksonville Main Street hosted professional sign painters from around the world called Letterheads or Walldogs to develop heritage-based public art projects throughout the historic central business district. The result was a collection of murals that highlight Jacksonville’s rich history. The murals were created and installed during week-long events, dubbed “The Jacksonville Walldog Extravaganza” in 2006 and “Wham Bam Mural Jam” in 2019. The Four Corner Churches was a digital addition to the existing projects in 2010. Jacksonville Main Street intends to add to the collection over the coming years.
