Historic
Wright Brothers Mural
Decorates the wall above the Postmaster's office inside the
Williamston Post Office. This mural has been a point of interest
since 1940, when artist Philip von Saltza of North Castine,
Maine was commissioned to paint the scene as a WPA project. The
artist, along with local citizens, chose a beach scene set just
after the historic 1903 flight as the subject for the mural. The
scene is of particular interest because of the First Flight
Centennial
