The three murals show how the hops harvest was turned into a family event. The middle and largest scene pictures a young woman standing with her children. The woman, whose eyes follow her viewers, was painted from a 1904 photo and later identified as Sarah Hill of Zillah. Viewers should look closely at the architecture around the hops museum murals.
