Linden Arts & Historic District

Linden Arts & Historic District

"Perry County Pride" is a 2009 mural by local award-winning artist Sonny Davis facing the courthouse near Linden's town square. At this spot was a long lasting advertising mural for Quasar televisions painted in the early 70's but eventually became too faded. The mural was commissioned by Vision Perry who has now added other art in and around the square.

Scenes from this mural include a boy and his fishing pole, a water fall, a double-stack kiln and a Perry County flag.
