"Filling the wall space above the postmaster's door and appearing as though supported by the crown molding, is the mural, Prairie Fire, painted by Ethel Magafan and installed in 1940.

Its earthy hues match the wood used on the vestibule, postmaster's door, and counter area.

The mural shows a woman grasping a child in a Conestoga wagon about to be engulfed in flames.

Two men carrying shovels rush to dig a break to stop the fire from spreading.

Magafan's scene vividly depicts the action and chaos associated with traveling across and settling the prairies.
