Established in 1995, the Punta Gorda Historic Mural Society (PGHMS) is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization managed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Their mission is to preserve the rich history of the Punta Gorda,  through the beauty of mural art.  PGHMS has created 31 murals throughout our city, each mural depicts a significant location or event.

By exploring Punta Gorda’s murals, you will learn the local history depicted in each mural, when it was painted, as well as the artist. See if you can find the objects hidden in some of them. You’ll also get an overview of the Mural Society and their process for creating these historic murals.
