Promotional Flyer Inviting Tourists to the Apple Orchards — Northwest Arkansas Apple Orchards Museum

Promotional Flyer Inviting Tourists to the Apple Orchards of Northwest Arkansas

The spring season of Northwest Arkansas amidst the apple orchard frenzy was the most beautiful time for the region. The budding apple blossom flowers would be visible across multiple orchard fields and across the entirety of Northwest Arkansas, shown in the promotional pamphlet. Apple Blossom would become the State’s flower in January 1901 following a State assembly meeting. The choice of apple blossom showcases the cultural pride many residents in Northwest Arkansas felt towards apple orchard farming, and this flower is a constant reminder to those living in the region the beautiful history that it encompasses.

The apple industry in Northwest Arkansas had formed a community and significant cultural pride around orchards showcased in the flyer. Infatuation for orchards would be passed onto the children, highlighting how transformative the region with the addition of horticulture clubs in the region.
