Event Description:

The National Willa Cather Center is excited to announce Crossroads: Change in Rural America, a Smithsonian Museums on Main Street exhibition, will be coming to our Red Cloud Opera House gallery. This insightful and beautiful exhibition speaks to our nation’s rural histories . . . and to our future! In partnership with the Webster County Historical Museum, Humanities Nebraska, and Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street, Crossroads offers an in-depth look at rural American lives and invites viewers to reflect and engage with the unique opportunities and challenges presented by rural living. As a bonus, the National Willa Cather Center and the Webster County Historical Museum have teamed up to exhibit some rarely seen objects and photographs from our collections as we look at “Our Changing Main Street,” and we’ll host the Great Plains Mini Film Festival, which will screen two very different views of rural America ahead of a panel discussion, “Telling Our Stories: How Public Art Reflects and Projects Rural Lives.”
