1. 78 Lost, No One Forgotten Marker
In loving memory of those who perished and suffered from
the Austin Dam tragedy. May those individuals rest in peace
and smile down upon our tribute in their honor. Our mural
represents William Nelson, who tried to warn of the possibility
of a Dam failure and how people lived before the catastrophe.
The mural was painted by the Austin Art Mural - Project Based
Learning class. Project Based Learning involves collaboration,
research and teamwork which explores real-world problems
and challenges. The students were challenged to take owner-
-ship and preserve the park for future generations. The Art
Mural Project was created in order to support and enhance the
Austin Dam Memorial Park. Members of the Art Mural Project
were: Jordan Kinney, Kina Logue; Estaban Mera, Anderson
Nicka, Laine Robinson, Hannah Seeley, Skybree Setzer, Connor
