SITE OF PROPOSED MURAL

The Amtrak Station in Martinez, CA

In the heart of downtown Martinez, stands a 270' blank wall with incredible potential. A thoughtfully designed mural on this highly visible surface would transform the space into a welcoming landmark, inviting Amtrak passengers to step off the train and discover the charm of our town.

Here's a sketch created by a local artist...

Beyond beautification, the mural would serve as a cultural touchstone — sparking curiosity, encouraging tourism, and sharing the rich, often-overlooked history of Martinez with both visitors and locals alike.

THE HOMETOWN HERO PROJECT

The mural is an initiative of The Hometown Hero Project, a group of Martinez locals who are committed to preserving the legacy of Joe DiMaggio and bringing more awareness about the great history of our town.
