An international artists' collective created this series of 15 murals depicting the shared history of Pawcatuck and cross-river Westerly, from sporting rivalries to train and ferry services, Italian cuisine and hurricanes. It's an interesting and instructional view of a codependent history, crossing state lines, in a different style than the nearby New London Mural Walk.
