Welcome to Stuhr Museum!

Stuhr Museum at the
Nebraska State Fair

Stuhr Museum is proud to be part of the 2010 Nebraska State Fair! The museum will have a booth in the Children's area near the 4-H/FFA/Commercial Building, and will be there during the entire fair, August 27 - September 6.

During the day and into the evening, Stuhr will have hands-on, Living History activities for children and adults including blacksmith games, old-fashioned games like "Shoot the Moon" and "Skittles," pictures with a life-sized buffalo standee, coloring pages and more. What's even more special will be the daily presentations at 2 p.m., where Stuhr staff will demonstrate a part of the museum for the public.

In addition, if you've attended the State Fair and want to come out to the museum, you can do so at a reduced admission. More details about this deal are coming soon.
