and other cement work was installed, and decorative stone was laid. The following spring, the project resumed. A custom gazebo was constructed on the cement platform in the center of the lot, providing covered seating. Trash cans and flower boxes were also placed. In 2013, the Civic Club approached the Art Club at Frontier Jr./Sr. High School about incorporating local student art into the project. They also hoped that this would spark youthful interest in community betterment. The Art Club volunteered to paint a mural on the exterior of the post office. The mural, now complete, is modeled on a black-and-white photograph of the Chalmers depot with an approaching steam locomotive. The date of the photograph is unknown. Atop the mural is the text, "Mudge's Station," a historical name for the town. In 2015, the Art Club began working on a second mural which paints a vision of Chalmers's vibrant past. It is modeled on a color photograph of Downtown Chalmers in its prime with many active storefronts. Beneath the photograph, the mural reads, "Building a better Community," which reflects the mission of the Civic Club. Future plans for the Downtown park include mounting five plaques on the cement wall in honor of the men and women who have served in the military. A potential location for another mural is the Chalmers Historical Museum directly to the east of the park.
