The United States post office in Pascagoula contains a mural, ''Legend of the Singing River'', painted in 1939 by [[Lorin Thompson]]. Murals were produced from 1934 to 1943 in the United States through the [[Section of Painting and Sculpture]], later called the Section of Fine Arts, of the [[United States Department of the Treasury|Treasury Department]]. The mural was restored in the 1960s as the building became the Pascagoula Public Library. The building was damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the mural was placed in storage. In 2010, it was reinstalled at the new Pascagoula post office on Jackson Avenue.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mural returns to Pascagoula Post Office|url=http://blog.gulflive.com/mississippi-press-living/2010/07/singing_river_indians_1939_mural_returns_to_pascagoula_post_office.html|website=Blog.gulflive.com|date=July 11, 2010|access-date=20 January 2015}}</ref>
