The mural was removed in 1975, and parts of each panel were lost during the removal resulting in panels that are smaller than the originals. The Ely Memorial High School donated the mural panels to the Ely-Winton Historical Society ca. 1980. The panels were cleaned, varnished, mounted on plywood, and individually framed with funding from the Ely-Winton Historical Society and the Minnesota Historical Society. This mural panel was on display at the Ely-Winton Historical Society until until Feb. 2014. In 2014, all twelve mural panels were placed on loan to the Washington Elementary School. In 2023, all twelve mural panels were relocated to the Commons Area of the Ely Public School System. References:  Ely-Winton Historical Society, 2014, 2023. Illustration:  Image on file.
