Community Roots: History and Belonging
A Community Mural Project at the Agricultural History Farm Park
Story Tapestries is proud to lead the Community Roots Mural Project in partnership with Agricultural History Farm Park. Together with local artist Luis Del Valle, we are inviting community members to share their stories, explore their roots, and co-create a mural that honors the evolving legacy of the Agricultural History Farm Park.
We’re building a community mural together — one rooted in history, grounded in the present, and reaching toward the future.
Through a series of creative gatherings, neighbors of all ages are invited to help shape the vision. Whether you share memories, reflect on the land, or paint alongside others, your voice will help guide what appears next at the park.
This isn’t just about art — it’s about honoring the resilience, contributions, and stories of the people who shape the cultural fabric of our community.
Come to one or come to all — this is a space to connect, create, and celebrate our collective legacy.
