“Greetings from Bristow” mural finds home at Bristow Museum

The Bristow Historical Museum has a butterfly garden which attracts both butterflies and visitors each year. The garden is on the national Monarch Watch website for butterfly enthusiasts who like to follow the monarch migration each year. This year the museum added a large butterfly mural to the side of the Slyman building just northwest of the depot, near the garden. Visitors can step into the Monarch art and become part of the butterfly body. The museum has had lots of visitors already and loves seeing all the photos taken at the mural. For the shorter visitors, there is a monarch chrysalis where they can stand for their photo. Local artist Andi Levin painted this mural for the museum and it is appreciated so much. Bristow contractor Darren Odell and his children Kamryn and Christian helped hang the mural while T.H. Rogers Lumber Company donated the framing material. Edmond and Sherian Slyman allowed us to use their building. Our thanks to all of these Bristow friends who helped make this happen. The Historical Society loves helping Bristow and making the community better in every way. Swing by and enjoy the art and please send your photos to the museum's Facebook page. #bristowdepot
