Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Weiss lived in West Haven, a city southwest of New Haven on Long Island Sound in south-central Connecticut.
The settlement was the scene of several skirmishes between British raiders and the local militia during the American Revolution.

In August of 1930, the Weiss family received a postcard greeting from Minneapolis, the capital city on the Mississippi River in southeast Minnesota.
Minneapolis was a center of milling, both for manufacturing and for agricultural products.

The postcard was mailed by Mrs. Pfaff who was enjoying her visit to the bustling metropolis.
The face of the postcard is a drawing of the new Walker Art Museum.
The postcard was published by the “Co-Mo Company, Post Cards” of Minneapolis.
In 1930, Mrs. Pfaff would have seen the building pictured on the postcard.
This museum building, was completed in 1927, replacing the original gallery in the mansion of Thomas Barlow Walker – a lumber baron.

Today, the Walker Art Center is a sprawling, modernist structure erected in 1971 – one of the most-visited centers of modern art in the US.

On the reverse, Mrs. Pfaff expresses her delight at the journey to the Midwest, “the roads were good and the scenery beautiful”.
Mrs. Pfaff found Minneapolis to be “a wonderful city”.
One hopes that Mrs. Pfaff returned safely to her home and that she shared more travel stories with Mr. and Mrs. Weiss.
