Greetings from Fayetteville, Arkansas
- Date
- c. 1940s
- State
- Arkansas
- City
- Fayetteville
- Format
- Postcard
Fayetteville appears above oversized ARKANSAS lettering, with a waterfall and foliage wrapping around the design. The card combines a city greeting with imagery associated with the wider state.
Fayetteville became home to the Arkansas Industrial University after the city’s bid was selected. Classes began in 1872, and the school later became the University of Arkansas. The overprinted city name points to this northwest Arkansas community even though the images inside the letters range across the state.
