Clinton Mural Tour

Anyone walking the streets of Clinton can see that our charming town is home to many beautiful murals. Now, the true magic appears when you hold your phone camera up in front of the art. With the help of up-and-coming augmented reality technology, the murals come to life and move on your screen! Five of our murals were painted by the late Allen Hilgendorf, a muralist responsible for over a hundred artworks in small towns throughout Southwestern Ontario. His talent for elevating daily activities in art resulted in a series of murals throughout Clinton depicting the area’s historically significant moments. Animating these pieces of history brings new life and interest into existing art. This creates a creative and unique experience for residents and visitors alike, while still preserving Allen’s legacy. The mural walk also integrates well with Clinton’s downtown historic walking tour.
