During the New Deal, artists were commissioned to paint murals in public buildings throughout the country. Five are still on display in Wyoming post offices: Eugene Kingman - Kemmerer; George Vander Sluis - Riverton; Louise Emerson Ronnebeck - Worland and later moved to the Dick Cheney Federal Building; Manuel Bromberg - Greybull; and Verona Burkhard - Powell. This documentary explores these five and also looks at contemporary public art murals in the state.
