Treasures of Holley
This interactive mural installation designed for Holley’s Canal Park has been one year in the making. A collaboration between Holley’s Rotary Club, OCALS, and artist Stacey Kirby, Treasures of Holley is a community project that seeks to show people all that Holley has to offer. Eight mural panels illustrate a variety of interesting features of the town; historical architecture, natural beauty, interesting people – they’re all a part of Holley, waiting to be discovered.
As of June 5th, 2010, treasure maps can be found at the mural in Holley’s Canal Park. Use the treasures maps stored in boxes there to explore the town of Holley. The map will guide you to the different landmarks found in the paintings. Solve riddles, follow clues and answer questions as you go.
“People from all over the country and all over the world travel the canal, and they love stopping in Holley’s beautiful Canal Park to eat lunch, relax and rest. Until now, there hasn’t been anything to draw them into the town itself. Treasures of Holley bridges that gap. The colorful murals show visitors what Holley has to offer and the treasure hunt walking tour shows them the sites first hand. This is great for people traveling the canal that are looking for a new activity, people from the area that would like to discover Holley’s hidden treasures, and even people that live here in town. It’s free, educational and it gets people active outdoors.” – artist Stacey Kirby
