Take a walk through Ely’s story, told not in pages, but across walls.

The Mural Walk is an open-air gallery that stretches throughout town, where art and history meet in bold color and larger-than-life scale. Each mural reflects the spirit of the people who shaped this place—capturing the grit of industry, the richness of culture, and the pride woven into generations of life in White Pine County. Together, they form a visual narrative that honors the past while celebrating the community that continues to carry it forward.

Always on display and open to the public, the Mural Walk invites you to explore at your own pace. Stroll from one piece to the next for a closer look, or take a scenic drive through town to experience the collection as it unfolds across Ely’s streets and buildings. However you choose to explore, each stop offers a new perspective and a deeper connection to the place.

Audio recordings and descriptions of each mural are available below. Click, listen, and enjoy.
