Nebraska Prairie Museum — Attraction in Holdrege

Wow, I can't say enough about Nebraska Prairie Museum without using a thousand words and a hundred pictures. They let us stay overnight (with a reservation) in our RV. I went in for an hour before they closed (it's free admittance) and barely got through a section. When back for almost three hours the next morning and still did not see everything.

Thank you, Kailyn. Good luck with your future digs In career as an...

I have a personal collection of over 600 postcards from Holdrege and the area, most dating to the turn of the last century. I once contacted someone at the museum several years ago and offered to give the museum those cards I had inadvertently duplicated in my collection - dups over and above the 600+. While I can take rejection, my offer was rather rudely rejected. Oh well.

There are more cards out there. Just tougher to find. Have cards? ...
