Nation made a name for herself as a folk hero, invading saloons and taking an ax to the liquor barrels.
Her fans, the wives and daughters of the South, often paid her bill.
Getting souvenirs like these from her in return.
Nation eventually purchased a home in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, appropriately calling it Hatchet Hall.
The work of Carry Nation and her contemporaries also propelled the women's suffrage movement here in Arkansas.
Arkansas ratified the 19th Amendment on July 19th, 1919.
The women in the state gained the right to vote a year later when Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18th, 1920.
Carry Nation, an Arkansan worth treasuring.
