“Ramona
is the
HEART
of
San Diego
County”
|
The unincorporated area of Ramona is located in the geographic center of San Diego County. Most visitors drive through Ramona on State Highways 67 and 78 on their way to the mountain town of Julian, the Anza Borrego Desert or on their way out to the Colorado River.
The main goal of the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project is to create a reason for those passing tourists to STOP to enjoy Ramona’s beauty, charm, character and heritage, and to rest a spell. After looking to the examples set by other mural towns, a group of Ramona business people came together to launch an aggressive outdoor visual arts program, starting with murals.
The acronym, H.E.A.R.T. not only indicates Ramona as the geographic center of San Diego County, but reflects the character of the community. “H” for Historic and Hiking, “E” for Equine, “A” for Arts, Antiques and Agriculture, “R” for scenic rural vistas and drives, and “T” for Tasting of fine wines.
We hope that you stop and enjoy the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Murals next time you’re driving through, or better yet make Ramona your destination!
