Second Speaker Event

    The Kregel Windmill Factory Museum is proud to announce the second installment in our 2014 Fall Speaker Series. On Thursday October 16th at 6:30 pm here at the museum there will be a presentation by Wayne State College professor Don Hickey on Nebraska's Rich Heritage. Prof. Hickey is known worldwide for his work on the War of 1812 and he is considered one of the premier scholars on that conflict. Prof. Hickey has also written a book on the vibrant history of Nebraska entitled Nebraska Moments: Glimpses of Nebraska's Past. In this book Prof. Hickey highlights defining moments throughout Nebraska's history and the incredible accomplishments, and sometimes terrible tragedies, that occurred along the way. Our fine state may seem quiet and docile on the surface, but delve deeper and you will find impressive tales of people and places that were otherwise unknown. 

    Attendees to this presentation will be given a sense of types of trials and tribulations that early Nebraskans faced trying to make their way in what some referred to as "The Great American Desert" This event is free to the public with snacks and refreshments provided. Please come join us for a fabulous night of rich Nebraska history at the Kregel Windmill Factory Museum. And may your blades always catch the wind!
