Incorporated in 1905, the historic city of Estacada shares its heritage with visitors in an artistic way with the creation of more than 20 large-scale murals on buildings throughout the community. The Artback Artists Cooperative program first started in 1992 when a group of local artists created the original mural. The mural resonated in the community so well that they decided to continue the program, creating a new mural almost every year thereafter. Each one has a different theme that highlights various aspects of the city’s heritage. The murals invite visitors to connect with Estacada and learn about its past in a unique way.
