Here are some of the downtown murals for which Ashland is known. Depicting scenes from the city's history, they were painted by Kelly Meredith and Susan Prentice Martinsen between 1998 and 2005. The murals include scenes of lighthouse keepers, lumberjacks, early grocers and pioneers who settled the region. One of the most amazing murals (pictured directly above) stretches half a city block and portrays sailors, soldiers, airmen and marines from different eras. All of the faces are based on real veterans who have lived in and around the Ashland area.
