The mural recreates a scene showing members of the Highland Creek community working together to build an addition to the Wesley Methodist Chapel in the early winter of 1867. The chapel once stood adjacent to the mural site amongst the tombstones of the pioneer cemetery. Present day residents, businesses, church and community groups of Highland Creek have joined together with the same vision and spirit of cooperation of their forebears to make this project a reality.
