DOVER’S HISTORICAL MURALS
Preserving our history with murals
Since 2007, we have been actively trying to preserve our heritage. Faced with a rapidly changing way of life, we hope to preserve the qualities that make Dover a wonderful place to live, for future generations.
Each mural was painted by two local artist. Roseann Collins and her daughter Candi Hunt. This artistic duo have created the various
paintings throughout our community.
These beautiful works of art have been inspired by old photographs, stories and historical events which have occurred at the site of each mural.
