In the early days of Toppenish history the settlers worked from sunrise to sunset for weeks at a time. Each family pulled and burned acres of sagebrush and greasewood to make room to plant their crops. We salute these pioneers of our area.
This mural was painted in an eight hour period, by the fifteen artists whose signatures you will find in the lower right hand corner. This was a feat never before attempted.
The original painting was done by artist Phil Kooser.
