If you walk or drive through downtown Mooresville, you will see art adorning the walls of brick buildings, many of them faded advertisements from many years ago. But some are brighter and more distinct than others, having undergone a renovation to bring them back to life.

The restoration project is part of a larger revitalization of Mooresville’s streetscapes. The faded ghost signs are an important part of the town’s history, and the collaboration between the Historic Preservation Commission and the Beautification Committee aims to insure that the future generations will also be able to enjoy them.

These historic murals, and a few fresh new ones, are favorite places for photo ops. In fact, they make our Most Instagrammable Places in Mooresville list! Here are a few of the mural locations. See how many more you can find around town!
