Wergeland Statue Island Park Fargo ND Vintage Postcard Antique

This vintage postcard features the Wergeland Statue located in Island Park, Fargo, North Dakota. The statue commemorates Henrik Wergeland, a notable Norwegian poet and cultural figure, whose legacy is celebrated in this public park setting. The image captures the statue standing tall atop a stone pedestal surrounded by lush greenery and a rustic wooden fence, set against a serene sky background.

Printed on a standard 5.5 x 3.5 inch linen-textured cardstock, this original postcard dates from the early 20th century, evident from the linen print style and the one-cent postage rate indicated on the back. The card was published by B & N North Dakota Drug Co., a known regional publisher of that era. The handwritten message and partial postmark dated May 20 provide additional historical charm, making this a desirable collectible for postcard enthusiasts and those interested in North Dakota landmarks or Norwegian-American heritage.
