This was really neat to see. I had heard about it from friends who have visited the area. I wish I would of had more time to read all the information they have at every murals and check out all the details. You could probably easily spend 1-2 hours here if you read everything. Great job to the artist who painted these.

Very cool. Extensive, huge murals. There were two murals being painted while we were there. It was neat that they also have signage telling the story behind each mural panel. Only negative is that theres a street right in front of it, so you either have to walk in the street, or if you walk in the sidewalk there are cars parked there so it blocks The View somewhat.

Great way to experience a colorful and historical visual and optional free audio tour along the river wall of Portsmouth. As always, Robert Daffords Murals are always a worthy trip anywhere along the Ohio River from Paducah to Point Pleasant, WV. I love his work.

A nice drive from Columbus to view a State and local attractions. The murals are great to look at and the 3D effects by the artists are amazing. The stories provided by their plaques are interesting, who knew the local Portsmouth team would become the Detroit lions.

Took my Mom & Sis. Youll need about an hour. You can drive right up to them, but on the other side of the street they have some information kiosks of what youre looking at. There is also an app you can download to get the same info. Worth a drive to!

Great motorcyle ride from Dayton area to the flood wall Straight down rt.73. A cool way to learn some ohio history. If you like books with a lot of pictures then this is the place to come. Awesome paintings 20 ft. Tall and 1/3 of a mile long. And the folks that visit here are as cool as the wall. Check it out
