Jacks Saloon, Happy Hollow, Hot Springs, Arkansas
Jacks Sallon Bar at Happy Hollow. An " amusement park" of sorts, Happy Hollow was established in the late 1880s or early 1890s by Norman McLeod off Central Avenue on what is now Fountain Street. Mr. McLeod also delighted many with his photography skills. Nearly everyone who has family that lived near Hot Springs in the early 1900s has one or more photographs taken there. The park was best known for its humorous photographs. Happy Hollows visitors could have their pictures made in an old bathtub, riding on the back of a burro, or taking a drink at the bar (as seen here with a multitude of humorous signs!), which contributed to Arkansass hillbilly image. Date: circa 1920s

This charming photograph captures the playful spirit of this unique amusement park, which was established in the late 1880s or early 1890s by Norman McLeod. Located on what is now Fountain Street off Central Avenue, Happy Hollow was a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Mr. McLeod was not only an entrepreneur but also an accomplished photographer, and Happy Hollow was best known for its humorous photographs. Visitors could have their pictures taken in a variety of staged settings, such as an old bathtub, atop a burro, or even taking a drink at the bar, as seen here with a multitude of humorous signs. These faux scenes contributed to the enduring hillbilly image of Arkansas and the American South.

The park's staged backdrops and signage provided a fun and amusing souvenir for visitors to take home and share with their families and friends. This photograph, taken circa 1920s, is a testament to the rich heritage of American history and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
