Murals have become a popular way for communities to exhibit their heritage and culture. Cape Girardeau has a large number of murals that make visiting them an attraction of their own. In Cape Girardeau the floodwall along Water Street of the old downtown district has become a canvas for Chicago artist Thomas Melvin’s Mississippi River Tales. This mural features 24 panels that tell Cape Girardeau’s stories, from the Native Americans to the Civil War and beyond. Other murals in the downtown district include the Southeast Missourian’s Tile Murals, the Coca-Cola Mural, the University Mural, the Bicentennial Mural, the Heritage of Music Mural, and the Missouri Wall of Fame.
