Slaton, Texas Mural

"An addition to your mural list.
Slaton Heritage Mural Located on the corner of 9th & Garza. This large mural was designed by Bill "Tex" Wilson capturing a nostalgic moment in the heritage of Slaton.

"Tex" Wilson grew up here and is a nationally esteemed artist whose works feature railroaders and cowboys of the Old West.

Prints of the Mural are available at the Slaton Chamber of Commerce at 200 W. Garza, 806-828-6238 or The Slatonite Newspaper, P. O. Box 667, Slaton, Texas 79364, 806-828-6201.

Photographer's Note:
"The mural on 9th and Garza was in need of restoration last April. Then, when we were through there on the last trip it had been redone. It is very attractive. Note the red pickup is still parked in exactly the same spot six months later." - Barclay Gibson
