“Dairy Farming” Mural

Reedsburg Post Office - 215 N. Walnut St

The mural painted inside the Reedsburg post office in 1940 is entitled “Dairy Farming”. The artist was Richard Jansen who had previously painted a mural in 1938 at Lincolnton, North Carolina.

The project was the result of a New Deal agency established under President Franklin Roosevelt that allowed for murals to be painted inside several post offices around the country.
