Follow along the trail to see the most beautiful walls in Morgan County!

Hey there, fellow wanderers and art enthusiasts! Today, I would like to share a little bit about all the colorful and vibrant Murals that have popped up on the MoCo Mural Trail in Decatur and Morgan County. If you're looking for a unique way to explore the city while soaking up some amazing art, this is the perfect adventure for you!


This fantastic initiative, which showcases a collection of incredible murals spread across the charming city of Decatur is completely free to the public! It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you'll find yourself surrounded by breathtaking art pieces that truly breathe life into the city's walls.


Now, I know what you might be thinking - "Why murals? What's so special about them?" Well, let me tell you, these aren't your ordinary street art creations. Each mural on the MoCo Mural Trail is a masterpiece, reflecting the spirit and soul of Decatur. From thought-provoking pieces that make you ponder the mysteries of life to whimsical designs that'll make you break into a smile, these murals have it all.

The trail takes you on a delightful journey through the heart of Downtown Decatur, leading you to both well-known landmarks and hidden gems.


You can explore the art at your own pace, and it's an excellent way to get some fresh air while enjoying the sights. Plus, it's a photographer's paradise - you won't be able to resist snapping some Instagram-worthy shots to share with your friends.


Decatur Morgan County Tourism has also created a digital pass so you can visit each mural on the trail and "check in" via GPS! Once you have visited all the murals on the trail you can get a special prize from the Visitor's Center.


One of my personal favorites on the trail is the "Wings Over Decatur" mural, where you can pose as if you have wings sprouting from your back. It's the perfect opportunity to unleash your inner artist and have some fun with your poses. Trust me; you won't be able to resist joining in the creative fun!


The MoCo Mural Trail is more than just a fun attraction; it's a celebration of local talent and the community's artistic spirit. It showcases the work of talented local artists, and you can truly feel the passion and dedication they've poured into each stroke of the brush.


So, whether you're a seasoned art lover or someone who just wants to experience something new and exciting, the MoCo Mural Trail is an absolute must-visit. It's a chance to see Decatur in a whole new light, immerse yourself in creativity, and appreciate the talent that flows throughout city.


Grab your friends, family, or even venture out solo - you won't regret it! Follow the trail, let the murals tell their stories, and have a blast exploring the art-filled streets of Decatur and Morgan County. Don't forget to tag #MoCoMuralTrail and share your experiences with the world!
