Details:
How did our state come to look as it did-and why was it formed out of the so-called ‘Great American Desert’ in the first place? A guided discussion by Brian Croft on the cartographic representations of the central part of the country from well before, and up to, Nebraska’s statehood in 1867-including some archival maps for up-close examination-will tell the story. Join us on Saturday, September 27, at 7 pm MT at the Ethel S. and Christopher J. Abbott Chimney Rock Visitor Center to learn why our state looks the way it does today!
