The Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk (117 Main St., http://www.brickstoremuseum.org) has more information about this mural in its archives. The museum was founded by the same woman who did the mural.
Hi Tracy, thanks for letting us know about this connection. We’ll try to get in touch with the museum.
