WHEATLAND — The Platte County Art Guild recently completed a mural on the north side the Exercise Here gym on 9th Street in downtown Wheatland.
This mural was made to commemorate the Wheatland Roller Mill Co (flour mill) that was in business from 1897 to 1931. The Art Guild started the mural on June 9 and finished it mid-June.
According to Helen Rutz, one of the artists, the Art Guild started painting murals around Wheatland around 10 years ago, when they made one near Cinema West, dedicated to the Wheatland Centennial.
“We’ve had probably 35 artists participate over the 10-year period, as young as 9 and as old as 90,” Rutz said.
