Hand Colored BENTONVILLE ARKANSAS, WAR EAGLE MILL Bentonville News, Mary Plummer

Description: Bentonville is the ninth-largest city in Arkansas and the county seat of Benton County. The city is centrally located in the county which is in the northwest corner of the State. It has an estimated population of 51,111. The area now known as Bentonville’s first known use by humans was as hunting grounds by the Osage Nation who lived in Missouri. White settlers first inhabited the area around 1837 and named their settlement “Osage”. By this time, the Osage had ceased using the area for hunting and the settlers began to establish farms. In 1843, Osage was renamed Bentonville in honor of Thomas Hart Benton, a senator from Missouri strongly supported Arkansas statehood. Bentonville was incorporated in 1873. War Eagle Mill is a working gristmill in Benton County, Arkansas. A mill has been located on the site as 1832, but was destroyed three times, and last rebuilt was in 1973. The mill currently operates as an undershot gristmill and houses a store and restaurant. It is located approximately 10 miles east of the city of Rogers in War Eagle, Arkansas. This “Albertype” was published by the “Bentonville Press” and “Mrs. Mary Plummer” and is in good condition. There is only minor wear and the “Hand Colored” image of some part of the “War Eagle Mill” is clean and clear. There is no way to date this card.
