GUIDEBOOKS
Our guidebooks provide basic information, such as the location and status of the murals for each state. Its purpose is to provide a checklist and quick reference to the artwork. They do NOT have images of the murals.
What we have found is the murals and artwork may NOT actually reside in the original building where it was installed. When the post office vacates a building that housed artwork, often times the art is moved to a different location. Sometimes that means miles or hours away.
For instance the post office building in Hudson, Wisconsin is now Post Hudson. The mural that was commissioned was moved to the Museum of Wisconsin Artist (MOWA) in West Bend, Wisconsin. That means that if you were driving to Hudson to see the mural you would be very disappointed to learn the mural is actually located over 4 hours (312 miles) away in West Bend, Wisconsin. And even if you did drive to West Bend, you’d be disappointed to learn the mural is in storage and not viewable to the public.
Our guidebooks and this blog provide the reader with the current status and location of the murals and artwork commissioned for post offices nationwide.
Our Guidebooks are 6 x 9 in size, full color cover and interior, These are smaller 50+ page books. Our current line up includes Tennessee Post Office Mural Guidebook and Wisconsin Post Office Mural Guidebook.

Our full mural books showcase the images of the murals and history. The full mural books are what you are looking for if you want to see the actual image of the mural and read the history of the artwork.
Several books have been writen for post office murals in other states. Wisconsin Post Office Murals is the first book which showcases full color images of the murals along with the history of each one.
