Description

Greenwood grew from a ramshackle cotton-shipping outpost at the fringe of the untamed Delta into the “Cotton Capital of the World.” The saloons and retail outlets along Front Street gave option to a colourful downtown and fine residential districts. As cotton’s post–Civil War resurgence gained steam, the burgeoning economy of Greenwood was once reflected in such architectural masterpieces because the Leflore County Courthouse, the First Methodist Church, the old Greenwood Prime School, Fountain’s Store, and the Keesler Bridge. Postcard photographers set up their cameras to capture the buildings and activities of this fascinating Yazoo River the city for posterity. Many long-vanished structures and old favorites which have been revitalized come to life in Postcard History Series: Greenwood.
