CONWAY — Somewhere, in that grand mural of the sky, one imagines the late Story Land and Heritage New Hampshire co-founders Bob and Ruth Morrell and their son Stoney smiling as an idea they once championed takes on new life at North Conway’s Settlers Green Streetside.

Through a collaborative effort between Dot Seybold of Settlers Green OVP Management, artist Ernie Brown of Conway and local preservationists Sut and Margaret Marshall of Madison, five historic panels comprising a mural that once graced the now-closed Heritage New Hampshire in Glen are now on display in a storefront window at the newly opened Settlers Green Streetside retail complex in North Conway.
