This fountain is decorated extensively with local fieldstone, and is believed to be known as Stone Fountain now. Apparently the older name was associated with the resort and cabins nearby which have been replaced.

This obelisk is a monument to the victims of the last Indian attack on white settlers in Iowa, which occurred in Spirit Lake, Iowa in 1857. There is also a cabin originally occupied by one of the survivors of the attack, who was held until ransomed. The woman, Abbie Gardner, also wrote about her experiences and operated her cabin as a tourist site.

This is an image of an imaginatively decorated souvenir shop once present in Arnolds Park, Iowa. The Kurio Kastle was originally located at 169 U.S. 71, Arnolds Park, Iowa, and recently moved to the new location of 709 16th Street,  Spirit Lake, Iowa, a nearby town.

This image begins a series of cards featuring East and West Okoboji Lakes, in northwestern Iowa. The first image here is of a promontory of land at the northern end of Pillsbury Point State Park, a sliver of park land along the southwestern shore of West Okoboji.
There is no description on the back of this card, as it is a typical photo made into a card by stamping the back with markings for address, message and stamp locations. It is also unclear what purpose the partially submerged wheel serves in the middle of the lake. This card likely dates to the 1940s.
This post marks one year of daily postcard postings. There are enough for about 3 more years of daily posts.
