Welcome to Historic Red Cloud: Great Stories Grow Here!

Red Cloud, Nebraska is not just a destination--it’s a place where literature and culture merge with the pleasures of a quiet country town and its prairie surroundings. To visit Red Cloud is to experience a town and entire landscapes, largely unchanged, as world-famous author Willa Cather knew them as a young girl and throughout her life. Red Cloud is an oasis on the prairie.
