This mural honours the country music star Stompin’ Tom Connors. Connors was a frequent performer at Carleton Place’s Mississippi Hotel and was a key factor in saving the building from demolition in 1990.
It includes the famous song lyric, “Everyone’ll tell ya around Carleton Place, the Mississippi dripped off of Big Joe’s Face.”
