Echoes of the Past is a cross-quilt–pattern mural celebrating Kimball’s rich history of entertainment, social gatherings, and cultural life from its early days to the present. Bright colors and dynamic line work create a rhythmic composition that moves across scenes of swing dancing, big band and jazz music, classical theater, rodeos, and community arts events. References to historic venues, live performances, and shared public spaces highlight the town’s longstanding tradition of people coming together through music, movement, and celebration.
Thank you to the students of Kimball Public School, Principal Matt Dykstra, PreSchool/Jr Kindergarten Teacher Stephanie McCord, Kimball historian Wayne Woodraskaw and the South Dakota Arts Council.
