Hobo Camp at Harmony Trailhead Park
Woodcarving Art has a significant presence in Harmony with large pieces displayed throughout our town.
These woodcarvings are the work of artist Stanley ‘Slim’ Maroushek of Harmony. Slim’s vision was to create a walking art tour in downtown Harmony to encourage visitors and residents to enjoy a walk downtown, view local art and visit our downtown businesses. The statues can be found displayed in our downtown and on the bike trail.
Musicians of Harmony
Currently four carved musicians are completed and displayed in downtown Harmony. The Musicians of Harmony series speaks to the diverse heritage of Harmony through Folk Art Style Pieces. Other large pieces can be found in Harmony, including a life-size Nativity Scene on display during the Christmas season, which was commissioned by local residents.
