Welcome to Muskogee America 250 mural by Malcolm Byers featuring the USS Batfish and a vintage Coca-Cola ghost sign.

Muskogee, OK

Artist Malcolm Byers captures the spirit of Muskogee by bringing together signature local landmarks that highlight the area's rich history. The mural includes a heartfelt dedication honoring the late Robert Kelly and the Kelly family, who generously donated the building's wall to make this project possible. Woven seamlessly into the design, the vintage Coca‑Cola imagery references the company’s history of hand-painted murals dating back to the late 1800s. By honoring those iconic visual roots, the piece embodies the heart of Paint the Nation—reimagining Coca‑Cola’s historic mural tradition in 2026 to celebrate local communities and honor a shared heritage.
