Since 1996, the City of Sterling, through it's Sterling Mural Society, has commissioned nearly 20 murals that bring Sterling's history to life. All are within walking distance of one another (a tour takes about a 30 - 45 minutes) and all depict people and events from the community's past.  A real treat.
