Our Murals

Bucyrus is home to several murals by world-renowned artist Eric Grohe, most notably Great American Crossroads in Millennium Park at Washington Square and Liberty Remembers at 215 N Sandusky StreetUtilizing a dramatic trompe l’oeil technique and after months of meticulous research, the artist created a world within our walls, bringing the history of the community and the sacrifices of our citizens to life.

Great American Crossroads Mural & Millennium Park

Work on the mural and park project began in July of 1999 and the mural was dedicated on October 26, 1999. The mural cost $70,000 and the park project cost $335,000; the Millennium Park and Mural project was privately funded and no city, state, or federal money was used.

The Great American Crossroads mural is 34 feet high and 130 feet wide, and is painted primarily with Sherwin Williams house paint. The mural is coated with a protective anti-graffiti coating.

Many stories and scenes are played out in the mural; more than 130 Bucyrus citizens modeled for the artist. The people and activities depicted were chosen from various times through the last 100 years.
