Preserving and restoring historic structures, strengthening economic vitality, and fostering community-driven projects in the greater Watseka area.
Now Underway: Mural Landscaping
“Hubbard Trail: The Path That Built Watseka” is up at 203 E. Walnut St., and the next step is landscaping the space around it. For $250, you can sponsor a tree, and your name (or your business’s name) will be permanently listed on a recognition sign installed at the mural site in Spring 2027. Every sponsorship goes toward beautifying and landscaping the mural site, and we’re hoping to get the trees planted before winter, so please send in your sponsorship soon!
