This mural features Marty Biondich, a much-loved community icon who inspired residents to remember the importance of friendship and goodwill. Marty was known for keeping the streets of downtown clean. He smiled broadly and said hello to all those who passed by.

Donors were quick to memorialize Marty in this mural at 519 Chestnut Street.

Virginia’s first mural is in honor of Hartley and Wesley Koski, brothers and businessmen who were second-generation owners of their father’s store, Koski Hardware and Furniture. The store which opened in the 1920’s was originally located on the 100 block of Chestnut Street and later moved to the 200 block in the 1940’s. Hartley and Wesley’s final wish was to have the wealth they had amassed through hard work and humble living be used to improve and beautify the downtown Virginia area. Upon Hartley’s death in 1997, the Koski’s donated their entire estate of more than $1 million to the Virginia Community Foundation.

The mural was removed from its location at 205 Chestnut Street in 2021. The building was demolished June of 2023. Due to the deteriorated condition of the mural, it will not be relocated.
