America250 Mural Honoring Historic Radnor Township · 

Radnor Township, in partnership with Main Line Mural Arts and local artist Dan Scott, is proud to announce the completion of its commemorative public mural in downtown Wayne. Serving as the visual centerpiece for the local America250 celebrations, the sprawling masterpiece marks the first public art installation of its scale in Radnor history.

The dedication of the commemorative America250 mural on Friday, July 10, 2026, honored community partners, visionaries and artists who brought this monumental public art piece to life. Located on the exterior commercial wall of At the Table restaurant, located at 118 W. Lancaster Avenue., the mural was partially funded through a generous public arts grant from the Lau Longsworth Charitable Fund. The project brings local history directly to the sidewalks of downtown Wayne.

"This project is the crown jewel of our community’s America250 milestone," said Molly Gallagher, Radnor Township Public Information Officer. "Through vibrant color and intricate storytelling, Dan Scott has beautifully woven together where we came from and who we are today. We want this to foster deep community pride for residents and visitors alike."

Designed and hand-painted by local Berwyn-based artist and musician Dan Scott (known online as @danscottforreal), the mural acts as a visual timeline. It chronicles Radnor’s rich local heritage, mapping its story from early pastoral origins, through the advent of the railroad, to its current bustling suburban landscape and iconic Wayne skyline. The piece also captures crucial local landmarks, including historic design references to the Old Conestoga Road and the Ardrossan Estate.

“When we were first approached about hosting the America250 mural, we were honored to be considered. As business owners, we believe it’s important to support projects that bring people together and celebrate our shared history,” said Tara Buzan-Hardy and Alex Hardy, owners of At the Table. “Seeing the finished mural for the first time was incredible – it has brought new energy and beauty to our building and we’re proud to play a small part in commemorating this historic milestone for our country and community.”

Main Line Mural Arts, a regional 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting local artists, spearheaded the selection process and will ensure the preservation and maintenance of the wall over its expected 10-to-15-year lifespan.

“Public art has a unique power to ground us in our shared history while pointing toward our future," said Stacey Ballard, Founder & Board President Main Line Mural Arts. "By partnering with Radnor Township for America250, we wanted to give Wayne a lasting visual legacy.”

The mural completion joins a robust summer lineup of Semiquincentennial festivities coordinated across Delaware County, which recently included town-wide red, white, and blue light displays for Light to Unite, customized America250 public banners, and a community fireworks spectacular over the Independence Weekend.
