The new National Willa Cather Center is attracting tourism and sparking local business.
Beloved American novelist Willa Cather spent much of her childhood in Red Cloud, Nebraska (population 1,115), with the city later appearing as a backdrop for some of her most cherished works. Headquartered in Red Cloud since 1955, the Willa Cather Foundation (WCF) preserves dozens of historic sites that chronicle and celebrate the author’s life and legacy. These, as well as Cather’s stories about Nebraska, draw thousands of visitors to the city each year from all over the world.
