I was honored to receive this thanks to such an amazing group of folks with the AEMTA!
In 1941, the Arkansas General Assembly created the Arkansas Traveler Certificate to honor out-of-state visitors, the first presentation going to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. These certificates continued the Traveler-as-outsider theme, placing visitors in the role of the Traveler, but by this time, the image had lost its power as a regional stereotype, and the certificate has become a regular attraction at gatherings where visitors are honored.
