Dearfield Poster, c. 1931 (Poster)
In 1919, Colorado Route 24 ran through the towns of Loveland, Greeley, Dearfield, Goodrich, Weldona, and Fort Morgan. By 1931, the newly completed concrete Highway 34, in part, prompted O.T. Jackson to produce posters and pamphlets to advertise Dearfield. They promised a "valley resort" with food, entertainment, dancing, fishing, and other recreations. These were posted in primarily black neighborhoods from Colorado Springs, through Denver, and on up to Cheyenne. This poster is a copy from the City of Greeley Museums Collection.
