State of Robeson

by Lacey Grimes

After months of planning and anticipation, Historic Robeson is finally finished with our mural dedicated to the long, proud history of Robeson County. The mural was painted by a talented local artist by the name of Lacey Crimes. She took our vision, and with a bit of patience and a massive amount of talent, transformed our vision into a beautiful mural we look forward to showing off. We are grateful for her hard work and to everyone involved in all planning and funding phases of the project. 

Special thanks to Lumberton’s Visitors Bureau, the City of Lumberton, and the Robeson County Arts Council for your assistance in making this a reality.

Come on by and take a look.
