Chemainus is known as the Town of Murals.
There are probably no words to describe the paintings on the walls in Chemainus. I had a very difficult time selecting which photos to include.
What you will see as you browse these photos is that they are life-like. Many of the people just seem like they are coming right off the walls.

took a carriage ride that included the history of the town. |

You will notice that these paintings depict the history of Chemainus, including its industry and the people who lived and worked here......

The farmers
The water wheel.
