From contributor Jimmy Emerson, DVM: “Post Office mural entitled “Plantation, Transportation, Education” was painted by Abraham Harriton in 1941. In 1987, the newly appointed Postmaster had the mural removed from the wall of the post office. It now hangs in the Augusta Convention and Visitor’s Bureau in the old Enterprise Mill.”
