Artifact Overview

Tourists purchase simple, inexpensive souvenirs as proof of their travels. These mementos transport vacationers back to the places they visited and the things they did. In the mid-20th century, felt pennants were trendy. Underwood Park, a family-operated attraction near Leggett, California, has welcomed visitors since 1922. The family created the "drive-thru" tree from one of the park's coastal redwoods in 1937.
