The Heart of Ellsworth Water Street Mural project was born in 2019 with the committee meeting for two years to develop the project. By partnering with the Ellsworth Historical Society, historical images of Ellsworth’s past inspired the community mural. Muralist Judy Talyor and more than 24 volunteers painted the mural with Maliseet visual artist Mihku Paul being welcomed to add the final touches to the mural completing the project in fall of 2022. In Spring of 2023 a interactive QR code was installed on the wall for viewers to scan with the camera on their cell phones that will take viewers to the mural page for more information on the significance of each reveal of the Water Street Mural.

QR Code located on the lower left side of the wall closest to the river. Attention should be paid, this is a parking lot as well, be aware of traffic as you are viewing the mural description on your phone.
