Reisterstown’s Art Trail brings creativity right into the rhythm of Main Street, celebrating the stories and personality that make this town what it is. From vibrant murals and community-made mosaics to kinetic sculptures and unexpected details, each piece adds a little spark to the streetscape. What used to be an ordinary walk can now turn into a moment of discovery, something new to notice, something that makes you smile. As the trail grows, we continue to work with local artists and partners to bring fresh ideas to life and keep creativity woven into the everyday experience of our community. #ReisterstownArtTrail

Created by artist Dave Scheper in 2024, this kinetic sculpture brings Reisterstown’s history to life in the Reister’s Desire Pocket Park behind 202 Main Street. Wagon wheels nod to our early transportation roots, century-old tractor wheels and a windmill honor our agricultural past, and line-shaft pulleys echo the small industries—like the nearby blacksmith shop—that helped shape the town.
It’s a captivating blend of motion, storytelling, and heritage, and a must-see stop along our Art Trail.
