Part of Pontiac's "Murals on Main Street", twenty hand painted murals
located throughout the city.

Farming has always been the backbone of the town of Pontiac, and all the surrounding
towns in Livingston County. Every Labor Day Pontiac hosts the Central States Threshermen's
Reunion. The Reunion has been an annual event since 1949. This mural celebrates the farming
roots of the area, as well as the steam powered machines which were the first of many steps
moving agriculture into the modern age. The mural was designed by Michael Clark, a resident
of Aleda, Illinois where he has a sign business which he began in 1983.
