Walk through the front doors of the Council Grove Post Office, and you cannot miss it. Spanning the width of the lobby wall is a mural so large and commanding that it seems to belong to the building itself. For nearly four decades, it has stood as both art and history, its colors and images chronicling the story of America’s mail system. But for those who know Council Grove, the mural is also a lasting mark of Sharon Mock—teacher, artist, and community volunteer—whose brushstrokes left behind one of the town’s most recognizable landmarks.
