Lake Placid Murals 
Founded by Bob & Harriet Porter in 1992, the Lake Placid Mural Society formed to beautify the town and tell its history. We invite you to walk through our internationally known historic outdoor art gallery with over 50 beautiful, larger than life murals.  Some of these murals have sound, while most of them have hidden items.  Also, you will find 17 unique one-of-a-kind trash containers, all companion pieces to the murals, 45 bird plaques, 27+ clown cut-outs, a life-size bronze Florida black bear and so much more.
