Description
The historic post office in Stilwell, Oklahoma houses an example of New Deal artwork: this 1942 oil-on-canvas mural, “Cherokee Indian Farming and Animal Husbandry,” by Olga Mohr was commissioned by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts.
As of 2023 the mural has been removed due to a leak in the roof above it. The mural will remain out of view until the leak has been fixed.
