Thank you to the Adams County Historical Society and Elizabeth Spilinek for assistance with photos. This tour would also not have been possible without Adams County the Story: 1872-1972, written by Dorthy Weyer Creigh and Adams County Nebraska Historical Buildings Survey, (1999) prepared by Mead Hunt.
