Vintage Bentonville Inc. is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Bentonville, Arkansas, particularly highlighting the establishment of the First Class Weather Bureau in the early 1900s. This bureau, initiated by the Benton County Horticultural Society and U.S. Senator James Berry, played a crucial role in supporting the local agricultural community by providing daily weather forecasts and updates to farmers. Originally constructed in 1906, the weather bureau served as a vital resource for the region's apple orchards and agricultural interests until its closure in 1942. The building, which was noted for its quality construction and functionality, was eventually sold to make way for a new post office, marking the end of an important chapter in Bentonville's history.
