1906-1997
Acclaimed watercolor artist George Post spent time in Sonora in the 1930's. He was hired by the Public Works Administration in 1936 and was assigned to do a mural (pictured above) for Sonora High School. The mural depicted Sonora's main industries, logging, mining and agriculture. It is currently displayed in the high school library.
My wife discovered, quite by accident,that the piece of property we purchased
last year to build our home, is the site of the
little red cabin that George Post lived in
during that time.
Serendipity!
