historical murals of san angelo印象

In addition to being a well illustrated work of art, many have historical information that's very informative. I really applaud the artist for taking the time to paint an eye-catching, historical mural.Makes a really nice walking tour!

~well done and tasteful artwork from local artist that took several years in the completion...representing early settler days in san angelo, texas. Excellent activity if nice afternoon or evening with time to spare, or just a leisurely stroll downtown

Murals on many buildings in the downtown area. Downtown San Angelo has been much more active than most towns of this size, and in the last 2-3 years, it has hit a high note. It would be very easy to entertain yourself walking or driving to see the historical mural, and you are close to good food, and unique clubs, many that offer live entertainment. Just visited Sealy Flat on Friday--great blues music band from Austin. Can't beat that!

I have seen many murals all around the world. The biggest in San Angelo (I put a picture of it here) is very nice. It is the one that I prefer. The others are very nice too but they are smaller. This artist is very talented. There are many nice restaurants and some of them are very original. Unfortunately, I could not try them all. We loved San Angelo. We stayed 5 days and we really liked the atmosphere. People are very nice too.

Hard to find, parking sucks and with a van lift the spacing is not measured correctly and not wc accessible.

My friends and I had no idea that these murals existed until we stumbled upon them. The artwork is beautifully done and I love the history of the town as told through the murals. We rode our motorcycles around to as many as we could find. I had the best time riding around to find the murals and then getting a close up of each one. Perfect day, and I would recommend checking out this history of San Angelo to anyone who happens to be driving through town or stopping to see Ft. Concho. Beautiful!

The Railway Museum is located at 703 S. Chadbourne ST. San Angelo TX in the beautiful 1910 passenger depot built by the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient RR which was bought out in 1928 by the Santa Fe RR. The 430 mile line line is still active and is owned by the State of Texas and leased to Texas Pacifico RR.The Museum opened in 1998 after a 1.2 million dollar restoration of the building. The all volunteer staff opens the museum on Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm. Groups of 20 plus can schedule a tour any day and time based on availability of staff and previous bookings. Through out the week the outside of the building along with the museum's rolling stock that includes a GE 44 ton switch engine a GP 9 road engine and a Santa Fe Box car and Caboose is available for photos and looking at.The Museum volunteer staff is very knowledgeable about the history of not only Railroading in the area but of the history of the area and the city and the importance of both the Ranching and oil industry along with the vast impact of the military from the mid 1800;s to the present to the city and railroading.There are hundreds of historical photos of both the railroad and the area in the museum along with several motor cars, current and past railroad tools and equipment. Upstairs the museum;s new library has hundreds of books, magazines and videos along with 6 model train layouts in N, Ho and O scales.

We didn't see them all, but the ones we saw were fantastic. If you go downtown you can't help but run into some of them.

The murals in San Angelo are wonderful. Each mural tells a story about the history of the city and west Texas. I recommend spending a day just wandering around downtown enjoying the murals, the "Sheep on Parade", and the Concho River area. The downtown area is a delightful treasure, best enjoyed slowly.

The many different murals located throughout San Angelo give a lot of history in a unique way. Be sure to check out the history behind each one in more depth.
