Today is a big day for Downtown Chillicothe.
What was once hidden for over a century… is now being preserved for the next.
The iconic Mail Pouch mural on Machinery Hall isn’t just a piece of paint, it’s a symbol of our Appalachian roots, our history, and the generations who built this community through hard work and pride.
Thanks to the support of the Ohio History Connection and our incredible local partners, this mural will be fully restored this June and illuminated for all to experience, day and night.
This mural has watched over this street longer than any of us… now it’s our turn to take care of it.
