Pontiac Murals on Main Street:Pontiac currently has 19 outdoor murals that depict its local commercial, cultural, and political history. Most of the murals can be seen from your car, however, a walking tour is the best way to see the many details. The largest mural is the Route 66 shield found on the back of the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame & Museum. The other 18 murals were recently painted by the Walldogs, a collection of sign painters and muralists who came to town in June 2009. The more than 150 artists painted the entire set of 18 murals in just four days. There is a Mural Guide available for purchase at the Visitors Center, the Route 66 Hall of Fame & Museum, the Pontiac Public Library, and City Hall.
