This 1946 postcard advertises the dates for the Buckwheat Festival, held annually in Kingwood, West Virginia, from October 9 to 12. It captures a serene road running along a tranquil waterway, the Cheat River or one of its tributaries. The Cheat River, known for its scenic beauty and role in the area's history, winds through the region, offering peaceful vistas like the one depicted on the card. This serene stretch of road leads visitors to the heart of the festival, where locals and tourists alike gather to celebrate the harvest and enjoy the unique traditions of the region. The postcard beautifully captures both the natural beauty of the area and the spirit of a cherished community event.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
