    This handsome mural was painted in 1939 by California artist Howard Fisher, an artist who was once employed by a Hollywood movie studio.

    Liberty’s location on the Trinity River was clearly in mind, although, this may be one of those cases where the artist didn’t actually journey to the town for inspiration but instead used his imagination for a “typical” scene representing the region. The mural has been removed from Liberty’s former post office and reinstalled in the current one.
