Celebrate the incredible legacies of women and youth in the sport of rowing during the 2.5-mile-long Head of the Schuylkill Regatta. In the follow-up to two 2014 murals, artist Jon Laidacker has designed another pair of murals along the Schuylkill River, the home of American rowing. From local waterways to the Olympic stage, these athletes have been trailblazers in the sport that shaped the nearby National Historic Landmark, Boathouse Row.
