The number of people who called Beatrice home is phenomenal. Each year the Gage County Museum receives numerous letters, e-mails and visits from people researching their roots.

 

For this momentous event, Beatrice’s 150^th birthday, we are inviting back all the founding father’s families, members of the Nebraska Association families and those very earliest settler’s families. A number have already agreed to “come back” to a place that they perhaps have never visited before, but a place nonetheless that their relatives called home.

 

Although the even is only one day, a number of activities are happening in the area, including July 4^th Flea Market in Fairbury, Cedar Creek Pottery, Homestead National Monument’s new site, and  stock car racing.
