There’s been some activity on the south side of the General Store this week… have you noticed? 👀

The first-ever Mongo Mural is coming to life! This long-planned project was brought together by members of the MCDA board, local businesses, community members and the help of our amazing CVB, Visit Shipshewana. We can’t WAIT to see the finished product soon!

Stop by and check it out 🎨

The Mongo mural is complete! We are in awe of the beauty and accurate representation of our small town. A HUGE thank you to Amy Psinas and Visit Shipshewana for helping us make this happen! This will be a great welcome for visitors and uplifting art for locals to enjoy. We hope you check it out in person… it’s truly extraordinary! ❤️🙌😄
