In 1957 Barney and Francis began a
project to beautify the plant that soon became a tourist attraction.
They commissioned Les Grimes, a talented painter of scenic backgrounds
for Hollywood movie sets, to create a farm mural on one wall. The result
was so inspiring, Les continued to paint the mural until his passing in
1968. Arno Jordan continued the legacy by painting new murals and
restoring Grimes' originals. |
