Florida - Palatka Wall Murals

Today we make it back to Palatka to see the Wall Murals.  We had tried last week but when we got there my camera battery was dead.

We got a parking spot right next to No. 1 - Putnam County Jail Circa 1880
 Putnam County Courthouse, Circa 1909; Bronson-Mulholland House, Circa 1854; Palatka City Hall, Circa 1905, and Old T & K Railway Station, Circa 1886.  We missed 2 that were around the corner and couldn't find a 3rd one.


 The Putnam House, Circa1891
 The Battle at Horse Landing, May 23, 1864

Night Passage, Circa 1884. 
Traveling up the Ocklawaha River at night on the way to Silver Springs,the captain navigated his steamboat by the light of a bonfire on the upper deck.
To God be the Glory.  Billy Graham was baptized in Silver Lake and had his first pulpit at Peniel Baptist Church
 The County Courthouse
 One of my favorites the 3D effect is very well done.  The only real elements are the windows
Bygone Days, Circa 1880
These were not on the Map

 Putnam Treasures - Birds and animals found in Putnam County
Harlem Nights in Palatka
 Mary Lawson Hospital - opened in 1918 as a facility for African-
The Train Station
 Not a Mural but and interesting Mosaic
 This was a long one  - Cattle Drive to Paynes Prairie (near Gainesville)



 Senator B.C. Pearce Agricultural Mural
 Annie Oakley
 High Time in Palatka - Circa 1872
 Putnam County Wildflowers


 William Bartram traveling by boat on St. John's River in 1774

I think we got to see all but a handful.  It was a pleasant day to walk around town.  Got home and sat outside and got to see this Osprey soaring overhead
