Thanks to a newly formed Mural Committee under the umbrella of Sterling Main Street, and in partnership with the Keystone Group, the Committee has begun inspecting Downtown Sterling's 20 historic murals and will begin the preservation process and restoration work where needed. 

The community's help is needed to preserve these amazing works of art that reflect Sterling's rich history.
