For much of the twentieth century, cross-country travel was typically accomplished by bus—much of the time a Greyhound Bus. Located in Blytheville (Mississippi County), the structure shown here is one of the most unique bus stations in the nation. The town’s Art Deco Greyhound Bus Station is America’s sole surviving bus station of this style of architecture. In 2003, the station, which had fallen into disrepair, was purchased by community effort and today is owned by Main Street Blytheville.
