Route 6 Mural


This mural along Route 6 in Mt. Jewett, PA depicts the history and heritage of the area. Mt. Jewett was settled by Swedish immigrants as depicted by the ship.

In Elk and Forest Counties is the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi River

The Kinzua Viaduct when it was constructed was the largest train viaduct in the world. An F-1 tornado took most of the historic structure tumbling to the valley below.
The mural is showing signs of age; hopefully there is a plan in place for maintaining this beautiful piece of roadside art. If you are traveling in the area be sure to visit this beautiful mural.
