National Nebraska Day
Observe National Nebraska Day by learning more about the complex history of the state's south central region. Author and historian Gail Shaffer Blankenau will join us for a talk and signing of her new book, Journey to Freedom: Uncovering the Grayson Sisters' Escape from Nebraska Territory, at the Red Cloud Opera House auditorium at 1:00 p.m. central time.
Be sure to stick around after the event to take a guided tour of Willa Cather sites and attend the reception for artist Jonathan Goodding's show Beneath the Wide-Open. The author talk and artist reception are FREE events, but registering for the event is encouraged.
