The mural at the southwest corner of West Vandalia and South Main streets in downtown Edwardsville on the exterior building wall facing Walgreens is complete. The mural was created by artist Daniel Ricketts of St. Louis Sign & Mural. This is one of 12 murals to be displayed in a new Route 66 project funded by the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau with a $919,000 grant. The Route 66 Mural Program is just one part of a multi-layered Route 66 product development plan created by the Tourism Bureau in preparation for the 100th anniversary celebration of Route 66 in 2026. Using a similar layout, each of the 12 murals will have a signature touch that highlights the city where the mural is located. Ricketts is slated to paint the remaining 10 murals in East St. Louis, Hamel, Granite City, Livingston, Staunton, Carlinville, Girard, Gillespie, Virden and Litchfield.
