Nashville post office mural

Nashville, Howard County

John Robertson's 1939 mural "Peach Growing" shows planting, spraying and picking in a peach orchard. The kneeling man on the left is Bert Johnson, known locally as the father of the Arkansas peach industry. That makes it the only Arkansas post office mural with a portrait of a real Arkansan. It still hangs in the Nashville post office.
