Forever Hometown is a visual story of Forman’s unique architecture, Car Fest, Sargent County Fair Derby Contest, and its long history of co-op farming. The community is dedicated to the preservation of wildlife, tree planting, and paved walking paths throughout the community. The North Dakota State Forest Service awarded Forman the “Trees Award” in 2018 for its preservation and conservation efforts. Lastly, Lake Lithia, a natural lake within the middle of town, is a popular destination for its history as a cure for all ailments as known during the turn of the century.
Hidden in the mural is a python. In 2018, a local family reported their pet python missing from its indoor pen. News not only spread quickly throughout the community and neighboring towns, but throughout the state and beyond! The python was eventually found still at its home nestled on top of a large cabinet.
Thank you to the North Dakota Council On the Arts, Artist in Residence Grant and the City of Forman.
