The big cottonwood in front of the entrance to the Neihardt Center is now gone. It had been planted in 1977 by former board member Joyce Kroger in memory of her parents, the Diedrichsons. The removal was paid for by the Nebraska State Historical Society. The Neihardt Center has created a tree fund for replacement trees and currently have $550 from donations.
The Historical Society has also replaced the toilets in the ladies restroom and will be replacing the utility room sink soon. They will also checking into repairs or replacement for our front doors, which have become difficult to close.
