While we have gotten a chance to see many things in our city, county and state there were a few more local things I wanted to see. These murals are oil on canvas permanently affixed to plaster walls. They were created by John Martin Socha in 1940 as a Federal Art Project, part of the Work Projects Administration(WPA). The Battle of New Ulm and the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux murals are 7 by 19 feet. The Progress and Industry mural is 8 by 14 feet. These murals are in the New Ulm Middle School Auditorium.
