Old Iva Depot Mural

This beautiful mural of the Old Iva Depot erected in 1886 with the C. & W.C. Train, painted by artist Oscar Velasquez, is dedicated to our forebears, to the churches and citizens of our community for their contribution to the growth of the town of Iva, with gratitude to God for this part of our cherished heritage.
