This is a fantastic display of artistry. I am amazed at the artists ability to showcase such details on a large scale. The location is not difficult to find and there is even a small parking lot adjacent to the silos. A concrete walking path is also provided and you can walk around the entire display to fully appreciate each painted surface of the silos.These painted silos are certainly worth the stop to view, and there is no admission fee.

A beautiful, rare work by the world-renowned Guido Van Helten. The city has done a great job providing parking and sidewalk so you can stop, get out, and walk around to view all four sides of the work. Lighting also makes it viewable after dark. Absolutely worth a detour to see if you are traveling by Fort Dodge on US 20 or Hwy 169.

Man this is the coolest thing i never knew about! Was just out driving one night while staying in Fort Dodge. Whoever painted this in with histories greatest. It will blow your mind, I promise. Best viewed at night.

Mural is impressive, took a number of photos. I looked online and work was finished in December last year and the photos look like its starting to fade already.

The silo is already chipping and falling apart. Most of the art is really beautiful, though, except for the blondes hair wisp in her face. It looks like peeling skin. We colloquially refer to it as the Zombie Mural.
