Stuhr Museum in Grand Island, Nebraska, preserves and interprets the history of settlers who built communities across central Nebraska in the late nineteenth century. Its most distinctive feature is Railroad Town, a living history village of relocated period buildings that evokes an eighteen nineties prairie settlement, including the house where Henry Fonda was born. The museum grew from plans announced in 1960, supported by Leo Stuhr’s land, artifacts, and funding, and was renamed for him after his death. Dedicated in 1967, it combines immersive historic settings with notable architecture, has hosted film productions, and remains a leading Nebraska institution for understanding prairie settlement and small-town Great Plains life.
