Petersburg unveils three downtown murals

Three new murals have been unveiled around the historic Petersburg Square. Artist Noah Henderson, a recent graduate of Furman University, painted the three murals on the west side of the square. The first is a floral display depicting magnolia and dogwood blossoms facing a new park on the side of the town’s old movie theater. A mural depicting Holstein and Hereford cattle graces the old Beasley Funeral Home while a third has the name Petersburg painted over a silhouette of the state of Tennessee above Jean’s Sandwich Shop and Ice Cream Shop. Henderson was hired by a local businessowner to paint the murals.
