McNichols also completed the 150 Years mural located inside of the Burr Oak Community Center. Created in honor of the 150th anniversary of Burr Oak, this mural chronicles the history of the area from the indigenous people of the past to the residents of the modern day.

Also painted by McNichols, this mural is an adaptation of the Pawnee warrior atop the Topeka capitol to celebrate the history of the area. The two-story painting is easily visible from Highway 36.

In 1870, Native Americans killed three men along the Solomon River. Not long after, a fort of four-feet thick, seven feet high walls was erected. The Fort was abandoned in the fall of 1870 and the marker sits at the southwest corner of Maag Memorial Park in Downtown Jewell.

Registered as a State and National Historic Building in 1995, the Jewell County Jail was in operation from 1899-1982. The building is made of Kansas Limestone, much like several other historic Jewell County buildings.

This home, on the National Registry of Historic Places, features a turret tower, wraparound and pillared porch, Palladian windows, and patterned gables. Built by O.W. Francis in 1909, it rests just north of Burr Oak and is picturesque against the Jewell county countryside. It may be drive-by only, but it's worth swinging by to witness this beautiful architectural feat.

This stained glass, 1930's- era robbery alarm is no longer in use. Resting on the south side of Guaranty State Bank in Jewell and attached to the bank vault, it would sound, if it wasn't disarmed, before the vault door opened.

The Mankato City Library received significant funds after the sale of a rare book, donated by Robert Turner. One condition of the sale was that some of the funding had to be used for the arts. The Library Board allocated funds annually to bring in artists to perform at Mankato City Park.

The Ute Theater, or affectionately known by locals as the "Ute" is run entirely by volunteers and is the only theater in Jewell county. A popular destination for family night, it is open throughout the school year and closes during the summer months.

The Jewell County Community Foundation granted funding to hire artist Callum McNichols, son of Burr Oak residents, for this project. A colorful statement to catch the eye of townspeople and travelers, it is positioned on the main stretch of Highway 128 through Burr Oak.
