1960 The Big Well Greensburg Kansas

This playful 1960 postcard offers a charming blend of Americana and lighthearted pin-up culture, set against the backdrop of Greensburg’s famed Big Well. In the foreground, a classic mid-century pin-up girl poses confidently in a red bandeau swimsuit, one hand on her hip and a coy smile on her face. Behind her, a simple clothesline strung above a small campfire holds freshly washed garments swaying in the Kansas breeze—an improvised moment of prairie resourcefulness.

The Big Well, dug in 1887 and known as the world's largest hand-dug well, became a quirky roadside attraction beloved by travelers seeking both wonder and a touch of whimsy. This postcard captures not just the novelty of the site, but the flirtatious, carefree spirit of roadside America in the postwar years. It would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
