About the Artwork
The scenes depicted were designed by school children after listening to community historian Fairolyn Livingston describe the events of the community’s early history as well as her own childhood in the neighborhood. Over 500 students, artists and volunteers worked for six months to create this lasting tribute to the proud history and heritage of West Winter Park. Dedicated to the Community February 17, 2007 and produced in partnership with The Golden Rule Foundation with major funding from The Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation and additional funding from The City of Winter Park & Walt Disney World Helping Kids Shine.
