Thomaston, Georgia

The Thomaston-Upson Bicentennial Mural celebrates 200 years of community, character, and achievement. This large-scale tribute honors the people, places, and industries that shaped Thomaston-Upson—from hometown heroes like NFL #1 draft pick Travon Walker, Olympic Gold Medalist Martha Pennyman, and soul legend Wayne Cochran, to the textile mills and Hotel Upson that built its architectural legacy. From peaches to mules, the mural reflects a proud agricultural heritage and a foundation that continues to inspire the next generation.
