The Starke Round Barn is a historic and engineering marvel. More than one hundred years old, the barn is massive in size but is held together without nails or pegs of any kind. Measuring 130 feet in diameter and three stories in height, the structure is constructed with balloon framing and heavy timber supports. The Starke Brothers, Conrad, Ernest, William  and Chris, who came to Nebraska from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, built the Starke Barn in 1902-1903. The top level of the structure was used for hay storage, the main level of the barn was for machinery storage, and grain bins were eventually added around the silo. The lower level was used for livestock -- the southern end for cows and the northern end for horses. The Starke Round Barn is the state's largest and one of the largest in the nation. This extraordinary barn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in April 1972.

The Teammates Mentoring Program was founded by Tom and Nancy Osborne in 1991 in an effort to provide support and encouragement to school aged youth. The goal of the program is to see youth graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education. To reach this goal, youth meet one hour per week with a caring adult who serves as a mentor. Mentors are volunteers from the community who have dedicated themselves to making a difference in the life of a young person. Mentors give youth a sense of hope, purpose, and vision. Some of their activities include: weekly meetings with students, a kickoff picnic before the start of school, Recognition Night, One Hour Walk fund raiser, and kayaking.

Officers are President, Marilyn Fritson; Vice President, Eva Worman; Secretary, Val Horne; and Treasurer, Marcy Thompson. The board meets the first Monday of the month. For more information about the program or to apply to become a mentor, contact Jan Harvey, TeamMates Coordinator, at 402.746.3560 (work) or 402.746.2639 (home).

Mission: The program's mission is to positively impact the world by inspiring youth to reach their full potential through mentoring.
