image An early frontiersman welcomes onlookers to a view of a bend in the Ohio River, which will one day become the location of Steubenville, Ohio.

The painted sculptural elements on either side of the arch depict the town’s domestic and industrial development. A contemporary family, represented above, is the benefactor of this rich history.

Steubenville City of Murals is home to twenty-five outdoor murals depicting scenes of Steubenville's history, including the city's celebrity, Dean Martin.

In downtown Steubenville you can see murals depicting the 1850s and 1920s city life of Steubenville. The murals are painted on the sides of many of the buildings in the area. You will find the city's rich history painted on outside walls in larger-than-life proportions.

Instead of turning the pages of a book, you need only turn a corner to come face to face with stories of the past.

See all twenty-five murals painted in Downtown Steubenville and Hollywood Plaza, including the mural of Steubenville celebrity, Dean Martin. Tour maps available at Steubenville CVB office.
