Another Successful Victorian Festival in the Books

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the museum this Memorial weekend and thank you to all the people who helped make it a memorable event. We started the festivities with the parade and a “buggy ride.” Then Rob Williams entertained us with dulcimer music, although he wouldn't take our requests to play “Freebird” for some reason. Speaker David Wells from the Nebraska Humanities Council gave an excellent presentation on the Vietnam War to a standing room only crowd. I believe I saw several veterans in the audience and David was excited to talk to them. He stated that he had added and amended several parts of the presentation based on feedback from previous events and he was always happy to receive new information. Throughout the day we had living history exhibitions including broom making, butter churning and demonstrations of our player piano. And of course the museum was open to the public all weekend. We appreciate the support of everyone who stopped by and if you couldn't make it during the holiday weekend we have begun our extended summer hours. We're open every Sunday from 1-3pm and every Monday 9am-3pm and anytime by appointment. Hope to see you soon!
