    The 100th Meridian Museum was completed in 1994. The museum became the permanent home for the Concord Touring Coach which can now be viewed by the public. This famous stagecoach carried President Taft during his visits to Yellowstone National Park.

    The Robert Henri Museum and Historical Walkway
    The Robert Henri Museum and Historical Walkway was the childhood home of John J. Cozad's son, Henri, who became a famous artist and is known worldwide. The Walkway consists of an original Pony Express station, the Little Church in the Park, and a pioneer schoolhouse. The Robert Henri Museum holds many art shows throughout the year.
     Original Pony Express Station
    Cozad’s original Pony Express Station has attracted much attention through the years.  Located in the Veteran’s Memorial Park, it is often times a focal point for visiting tourists.  The cabin was originally built about 1849 on the south bank of the Platte River, south of Darr by Mr. Pat Malalley.  Mr. Malalley built it of red cedars which he found in the canyons to the west.  He used wooden pegs in the construction and he plastered it with clay which he found in the hills to the south.  This clay made a “pink” plaster.   This Malalley Ranch became not only a trading post for Indians but also a camping place for wagon trains because there was water available and wood for repairs and fuel.  Later it became known as the Willow Island station and was used as a stage and Pony Express station during the Pony Express April 1860 – October 1861.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search A homesteader in central Nebraska in 1866 The history of the U.S. state of Nebraska dates back to its formation as a territory by the Kansas-Nebraska Act , passed by the United States Congress on May 30, 1854. The Nebraska Territory was settled extensively under the Homestead Act during the 1860s, and in 1867 was admitted to the Union as the 37th U.S. state.

    http://www.minerland.net/havelock.htm
    HAVELOCK NEBRASKA HISTORY In 1890, the Land Company gave 300 Acres of their parcel to the Burlington Railroad which promised to build a 275,000 dollar repair facility to replace the outgrown repair facility at Plattsmouth Nebraska. The land cartel counted on the remaining 1,620 acres to rapidly increase in value as the community grew around the railroad facility. Ground was broken for the repair facility in June of 1890 and within a few months a 400" x 130' double brick building was built. 40 men began repair damage on three damaged locomotives. By 1895, Havelock Shops had on its payroll 400 men. The growth of Havelock and the Shops continued until 1922 when the men went on strike protesting Post WW1 pay reductions. 70 years later the strike has not been permanently resolved but Burlington is still the primary business in the community. In 1918, the Woods Bros. offered the Hebb Motor Works a land grant to encourage them to build a truck assembly factory. The company was short lived and repurchased by Woods Bros. Truck Manufacturing was resumed until 1926 when production rights for an airplane were obtained and the first Arrow Airplane rolled off the production line. In 1929, the firm's 700 employees were producing 4 airplanes a day. At this time in history, this made Arrow Aircraft the largest aircraft production facility in the world. One can see an Arrow Airplane suspended from the ceiling of Lincoln's Municipal Airport Building which was donated by Doctor Cram of Burwell, Nebraska. This particular aircraft was fitted with a Jacobs Radial Engine but latter aircraft was also fitted with the new Ford flathead V-8 water cooled engine.

    Lincoln started out as the village of Lancaster, which was founded in 1856, and became the county seat of the newly-created Lancaster County in 1859. The capital of Nebraska Territory had been Omaha since the creation of the territory in 1854; however, most of the territory's population lived south of the Platte River. After much of the territory south of the Platte considered annexation to Kansas, the legislature voted to move the capital south of the river and as far west as possible. The village of Lancaster was chosen, in part due to the salt flats and marshes nearby.
    However, Omaha interests attempted to derail the move by having Lancaster renamed after the recently-assassinated President Abraham Lincoln At the time, many of the people south of the river had been sympathetic towards the Confederate cause and it was assumed that the legislature would not pass the measure if the future capital was named after Lincoln. The ploy did not work, as Lancaster was renamed Lincoln and became the state capital upon Nebraska's admission to the Union on March 1 , 1867.
    EARLY NEBRASKA HISTORY
    When Europeans first arrived in present-day Nebraska, Pawnee, Ponca, Omaha and Oto Indians inhabited the land. Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was likely the first non-Indian to visit present-day Nebraska, in 1541. The French controlled the region from 1700 to 1763, when it was ceded to Spain. In 1803, Nebraska became a U.S. possession as a result of the Louisiana Purchase. Between 1804 and 1806, Lewis and Clark explored a portion of Nebraska and in 1823, the first permanent settlement, Bellevue, was founded.
