Background

Bucyrus, Ohio is home to two murals by artist Eric Grohe that depict the town’s history.

Below are listed the 2 main murals.

Great American Crossroads Mural is located on the side of the Crawford County Courthouse. It was completed in 2000 and depicts a 100-year history of the town, from its founding in 1817 to the present day. The mural features more than 130 Bucyrus citizens who modeled for the artist, and it includes scenes of the town’s industrial past, its downtown shopping district, and its role as a crossroads for the Lincoln Highway.

Liberty Remembers Mural is located on the side of the Veterans Memorial Building. It was completed in 2002 and depicts 285 Crawford County veterans who served in the U.S. military from the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf War. The mural features Lady Liberty cradling a dying soldier in her arms, and it is flanked by the portraits of the veterans.

Both murals are located in downtown Bucyrus and are easily accessible by foot.

In addition to these two murals, there are also a number of other murals in Bucyrus that depict different aspects of the town’s history and culture. These include murals of local businesses, historical figures, and natural landmarks.
