A tour down the Yakima Valley will bring you to several small farming communities that feature a variety of attractions. I-82 or Highway 97 brings you to the Western theme town, Toppenish. Here you will discover the richness and history of the Yakama Indian Nation, and learn about the Fourteen Confederated Tribes and Bands that call the Yakima Valley and surrounding area their home. Toppenish, the City of Murals , has over 55 murals with more in the planning stage. The murals show scenes from the Old West, railroading, rodeos, farming, aviation events, and various historical events.
Every mural painted is a historically correct depiction of the area s history.
Murals can be viewed from Conestoga Wagons pulled by mules. Or you can take a walking or auto tour of these beautiful murals. These tours offer a narrated history of each mural with an opportunity to stop and photograph the murals of your choice. Enjoy the annual Mural in a Day program held the first Saturday of June. Watch several artists bring their paintbrushes to life and complete a large mural in one day.
