WHIPPANY — The Morris County Library will host the Morris County Traveling Mural Project on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the library, located at 30 East Hanover Avenue, Whippany.
The free event is part of Morris County’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and invites residents to take part in a collaborative public art project honoring the county’s history, communities, and shared heritage.
The program will begin with an introduction by artists Kadie Dempsey and Dan Fenelon, who will discuss the mural project, the creative process, and the historical inspiration behind the work. After the presentation, members of the public will be invited to pick up a brush and help paint a portion of the mural.
The Traveling Mural Project is designed to move throughout Morris County, allowing residents and visitors to contribute directly to the artwork as it evolves from stop to stop. The mural highlights themes tied to Morris County’s history, including its Revolutionary War legacy, local communities, landmarks, agriculture, industry, arts, culture, and open space.
The project is being developed through Morris County’s 250th anniversary efforts in partnership with the Morris County Tourism Bureau and Core Creative Placemaking. A community visioning session held earlier this year at the Morris Museum helped shape the mural’s design and themes.
