GRAND ISLAND, STUHR MUSEUM - The Moonshell Arts and Humanities Council, a Hall County Organization dedicated to the promotion of local arts and humanities efforts, has honored Stuhr Museum for the 150th Anniversary of Hall County Celebration.

The book "A Commemoration of the Sesquicentennial of Hall County, Nebraska," which drew extensively from Stuhr Museum's archives, also won the Literary Award from the Moonshell Arts and Humanities Council.

The 150th Anniversary of Hall County Celebration was honored for the breadth of Hall County history covered during the week of activities.
