Preston Idaho Mural Panel

 Close to the corner of Main and Oneida in Preston, behind a bank, is a panel of murals giving an idea of the Preston culture.  There is a nice mural of Napoleon Dynamite.  Another promoting the rodeo.  There is a butterfly wings mural, but it is too high to stand in front of.  There are local mountains.  There is Idaho with the state bird and flower, Mountain Bluebird and Syringa.  There is "Welcome to Preston" and a dairy scene.
