Heritage Hour - Marking Nebraska: Our (Mostly) Hidden Historical Monuments

Heritage Hour is a monthly series that will feature resources found at the Grand Island Public Library's Heritage Room and/or resources of the partner organizations. Programs will begin at 2pm on the 3rd Sunday of each month.

Marking Nebraska: Our (Mostly) Hidden Historical Monuments by historian Jeff Barnes is a review of the state’s earliest historical markers, from setting its borders to marking its trails to honoring its people. Drawing from his site visits and photographs collected from across the state, Barnes shares some of the more interesting, colorful, and even controversial ways Nebraskans told their stories through boulders, tablets, plaques, and statues.
