Outsider Artist and local resident Gregory Warmack (Mr. Imagination) was commissioned to make Alferd the Mountain Mule. Warmack is an internationally known folk artist, a self-taught visionary whose subtle spirituality is captured in everyday found objects, ranging from sandstone to paintbrushes and bottle caps. His work is exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution and in major U.S. cities.

Lehigh is proud to be a sponsor for the “Miles of Mules” project under the auspices of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor and State Heritage Park. Mules have been chosen in this region as symbols of our 19th century industrial heritage.
