Cut Bank's Murals - Our first Mural appeared
in September of 1992 when Richard
"Tree" Mataisz opened "Many Feathers Trading
Post" on East Main next to the
Main City Park. The painting was done by Don D. Campbell
and depicts "How the
Blackfeet Indians lived on the plains near the Rocky Mountains."
In July of 2000
the "Cut Bank
Revitalization Society" started adding additional
Murals to decorate
the downtown area.
