Riverfront Park

Riverfront Murals Dazzle

The Point Pleasant Riverfront Park not only showcases
a gorgeous river view and outdoor amphitheater,
but also features artistic “living history” lessons with
the floodwall murals.
The murals, which were created by artist Robert
Dafford, bring local history to life in the form of
breathtaking art. The murals measure 260
feet-long and are approximately 15 feet high.
The scenes depict many events, including the Battle of Point Pleasant. This section of the
mural encompasses over 2,000 large-scale figures that show the Indians and Americans who
fought during the historic event, which is considered by many to be the first battle of the
American Revolution. Additional mural scenes include Lord Dunmore’s War, George
Washington and the Shawnee Indian Village.

EQUAL HOUSING Member My Bank Is Mobile,
LENDER FDIC Just Like My Family.

ID# 519902 We don't always have time to get
to the bank. That's why we use
mobile banking. With mobile
banking we can pay bills, transfer
funds, and more all from our
smartphones. Now the time we
used to spend at the bank, we
spend with the kids. My bank is
mobile, just like my family.
