One of the strangest and most beloved roadside attractions in the American Midwest, the Davis Memorial in Hiawatha, Kansas draws visitors who come to marvel at the elaborate marble tableau that farmer John Davis erected to honor his late wife — and, some say, himself. This 1938 linen-era card captures the columned stone canopy sheltering a gathering of life-size marble figures: a bearded patriarch, seated couples in period dress, and towering urns flanking the platform, all rendered in cool grey stone beneath a canopy bearing the name "DAVIS" on two faces. The card traveled from Hiawatha on November 19, 1938, sent by Harry to Mr. and Mrs. Harry in Fairview, Illinois, with a breezy note describing the memorial as a "great memorial" and "a great attraction to motorcade from all U.S." — an eyewitness account of Depression-era roadside tourism in full swing.
