At 41 ft x 46 ft., this is the world's
largest map of Dakota County. It features many of the County's
historic sites like the Gopher Ordnance Works, Sibley House and the
Miesville Baseball Park. The floor mural was created in 1989 for
the 50th anniversary of the Society by artists John Acosta, Jose
Lopez, and Carlos Menchaca.
The wall mural represents
many significant scenes from Dakota County's rich
heritage. Included in the scene are the Hastings
Sprial Bridge, Stockyards Exchange Building, a Dakota
Indian Village and St. Peter's Church in Mendota.
The wall mural was produced in 1982 by artists John
Acosta and Carlos Menchaca.
