Waukesha is honored to have been named a Gibson GuitarTown in large part to the life and legeacy of Les Paul. We share this privilege with other distinguished cities including, Los Angeles, Cleveland,Miami, Orlando, Austin, Nashville, and London.

At different spots around downtown Waukesha, you can't miss a series of murals focused on Les Paul and the history of Waukesha. Most of the GuitarTown murals were painted by the nationally acclaimed Walldogs. These artists are well known for their sign and mural creations around the United States. Some of the murals were painted by local artists.

There are also 10-foot-tall fiberglass Gibson Les Paul guitar sculptures painted by local artists throughout Waukesha. Both the murals and the 10-foot-tall guitars are great spots for fun photos. An added bonus: as you are exploring you will discover other smaller painted guitars, murals, art and all downtown Waukesha offers!
