Kingsland Mayor Sharon Crosby poses with a set of paintings that were donated to the City of Kingsland by Resea Britt of Woodlawn, formerly of Kingsland.
The paintings were created by Maggie Gavin Young when she was a sophomore in Mrs. Nicki Owen's art class at Woodlawn High School in 2016. Britt said she had Maggie do the paintings in hopes of using them in a center promoting Kingsland as the birthplace of the American music icon.
Crosby said she plans to have the paintings displayed in Kingsland City Hall for now.
Maggie, who still lives in Cleveland County, works for Key Realty in Warren.
