A small town on the Mississippi River in the Arkansas Delta, Helena is home to one of the oldest and most remarkable Jewish communities in the state. Only 75 miles downriver from Memphis, this seat of Phillips County was founded in 1833. Due to its location on the river, Helena became a commercial center and steamboat port for the cotton-growing Arkansas Delta.

Note Paper
A $20.00 paper note issue by the Exchange Bank of Helena, Arkansas. In the lower right an official of a bank in New York City also signs the note, apparently indicating the note is also backed by that bank. It is strange for that to happen in 1862 in the 2nd year of the American Civil War and in the same year federal troops occupied Helena and turned it into a fortress. President James Buchanan, the only U.S. president never to have been married, is pictured in the lower left.

S. as children, dismantled the flatboat in Helena and used the wood to build their home, now known as the Almer Store. http://ltc4940.blogspot.com/2008/09/helena-ar.html
