Unveiling History: The New Downtown Hanford Mural
Hanford’s downtown streets are full of character, but this fall they’ve gained a bold new centerpiece: the recently unveiled “Greetings from Downtown Hanford” mural. Officially unveiled on October 8, 2025, this colorful public artwork celebrates the city’s rich history while giving visitors and locals alike a fresh reason to explore downtown.
Created by local artist Jennifer Butts, the mural is located at 114 N. Irwin Street and captures the spirit, landmarks, and stories that make Hanford unique. It’s already becoming a popular spot for photos, casual strolls, and social media posts — a new landmark in the heart of the city.
Visiting downtown this fall offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy the mural while exploring other local gems. Stroll through historic Courthouse Square, grab a treat at Superior Dairy, or catch a show at the Fox Theatre. The season’s mild afternoons and cool evenings make walking through the streets even more enjoyable, letting visitors fully immerse themselves in Hanford’s small-town charm.
At The Hanford Hotel, an Ascend Collection, you’re just steps away from this vibrant piece of public art and all that downtown Hanford has to offer. Our remodeled boutique rooms, thoughtfully designed spaces, and warm hospitality create a perfect home base for exploring the city’s history, culture, and seasonal charm.
Fall in Hanford is about discovery, color, and connection. The new mural adds a contemporary twist to the city’s story, inviting visitors to experience history in a fresh and inspiring way. Come see it for yourself this season — and make The Hanford Hotel, an Ascend Collection your gateway to the best of downtown Hanford.
