Allen Bluff Mule The "Mule" is a painting on the side of a linestone wall on the west side of Liberty on the north side of US Highway 70. No one in town is really sure who painted the original copy of the "Mule". Some folks here say it was Lavader Woodard, a local man of some years back. Some say it was painted as an advertisement for a local stock farm.
Local people were quite upset when the state wanted to make the road 4 lane and would blast the limestone wall away to make way for the road. So... with much effort from the local residents and lawmakers in writing letters and making phone calls to the state gov., they decided to move the road about 50 feet the other way and "Save the Mule" was born.
The Allen Bluf Mule is a landmark of liberty and seen by almost everyone traveling through Liberty on US Highway 70.
