Inscription.
These photomurals celebrate people of all ages and backgrounds who live, work or go to school in the City of Hagerstown.

For nearly four months in early 2017, student, amateur, and professional photographers from four states captured candid images of people engaged in their daily lives, with a focus on the human face and the truth of the Hagerstown experience.

Images of Hagerstown residents from fifty-three photographers were chosen by a distinguished panel and are exhibited as photomurals at two locations on the Hagerstown Cultural Trail: one at the entrance on West Antietam Street and one along Lee Street.

Erected by City of Hagerstown, Maryland.
