2. Interactive “Harmon” Mural

Larger than life and full of personality, the Harmon Mural brings street art to life with a local twist. Also painted by Whitney Kerr, the mural was inspired by beloved Abilene resident Harmon Geissinger, known for his warm spirit and welcoming nature. This mural invites interaction—visitors can pose, lean, and mimic a range of expressions and gestures alongside the colorful character. It’s playful, unexpected, and entirely Abilene.
Insider tip: While you're there, tune into KABI 1560 AM, Abilene’s hometown radio station, just steps from the mural.
