1899 Independence Day Celebration

GRAND ISLAND, STUHR MUSEUM - The 2010 "1890's Independence Day Celebration" got off to a bit of a rainy start, but by the end of the day the sun had come out and fun was in the air.

The day began with a German language church service put on by the Hall County Historical Society at 10 a.m. at our Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church. Around 100 people attended the service, that is part of the 4th of July tradition at Stuhr.

Gates opened at Noon with a parade down Railroad Town at 2 p.m., a patriotic band concert by Railroad Town's Silver Cornet Band, a 4th of July program taken from historical writings and ending with pie eating contests and games on the green.

Thanks to everyone who came out and be sure to mark your calendar for the 2010 "1890's Independence Day Celebration" at Stuhr Museum.
