(Versailles, Ind.) – Whether you are a skilled painter or have trouble coloring inside the lines, all are welcomed to lend a hand in creating a new mural recognizing the Town of Versailles’ bicentennial.

The Main Street Versailles organization is leading the effort to put up a new mural at the Versailles Lions Club.
