On this date in 1803, Lewis and Clark held the historic “first council” meeting with the Otoe and Missouria tribes. The favorable meeting set the tone for the rest of their travels, and put this area on the map. In honor of this meeting, we are offering free admission to the museum all day (9-5),

We have been restoring the Frahm House over the last several months. Next project is to repair the beautiful wrap-around porch and add a wheelchair ramp. We are soliciting bids from contractors until August 31, 2023. The Museum was approved for a grant from History Nebraska for this project, with assistance from the Historic Preservation Fund,

The old schoolhouse is on its new foundation and the restoration is starting.  First, the chimney is going back on, brick by brick. Then the new floor, and the new roof. We’ll post pictures as the restoration progresses.

  Available now.  $10.  FREE with your $50 or higher donation to the museum.
