CIVIL WAR VETERANS MUSEUM
The Civil War Museum at the G.A.R. Memorial Hall is one of four remaining GAR Halls left in Nebraska and now serves as a museum. Built in 1894 and undergone restoration and development in the museum it is today. The Hall is a reminder to us and our children of the presence of Civil War veterans in Nebraska and the role they played in the growth of the communities, state and nation after the war.
Dedicated to the memory of Union and Confederate veterans, the Hall is being maintained so that it may once again serve the community as a resting place, research library and historical museum.
