The town of Stony Plain is proud of their heritage, so proud in fact, that in 1983 the town painted history related murals on several of its buildings. Throughout the years and especially from the mid 1980's to the early 1990's the town continued to have artists paint murals. Now the total number of buildings painted with murals stands at 24.
Each mural tells a story and the stories are for the most part quite fascinating including the one mural that explains the pastime of "rubbernecking". Other than the murals, and the friendly people, there is not too much to hold the visitor in Stony Plain as it is primarily a town whose main function is to service the surrounding agricultural region.
