The Senior Coalition traveled back in time on February 28th, at Trails & Rails Museum/ Buffalo County Historical Society as they shared information from the past 150 years in Kearney.
Broc Anderson presented the group with stories and photos of Kearney's history. Topics included Kearney Normal/State Collage, KMA and Korean Military Academy, State TB Hospital, the Midway Amusement Park, 1733 Ranch, and Lincoln Highway.
