The museum would like to announce the reintroduction of the Heritage Festival’s Beard Growing Competition!! There will be two divisions in the competition: Natural Beard and Styled Beard. 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places will be awarded in both divisions. Prizes will include Duck Dynasty duck calls, etc. If you would like to be a part of the event simply fill out the registration form and send it to the museum. We hope to see you there.
In 1866 the Union Pacific laid out the town of North Platte and the tracks arrived that fall. Here you will learn how the railroad grew and even get a chance to imagine the excitement of a train arriving as you enter the Brady Island Depot built in the 1880’s.
Throughout the year the museum offers events that give visitors a chance to experience history up close. Cowboy fast draw, bailing hay, Native American dancing, even anvil shooting provide a picture into our past.
