If you are in southeast Nebraska take a stroll through the Johnson County Nebraska Museum in historic Tecumseh, Nebraska--you will be glad you did! This family friendly, totally volunteer museum survives on donations and is an amazing representation of not only the communities of Johnson County, but a glimpse into earlier times in Nebraska. Four large display areas are tastefully arranged including military, schools, communities, church, wedding dresses, barbershop, saloon, newspaper/printings and a newly installed one room school and agricultural building.
Our docent, Jill Hahn, is one of the volunteers. Jill gave us a personalized tour and her passion and love for the community and museum were on display as much as the exhibits we viewed. My husband and I spent 90 minutes in conversation with Jill learning about the community and county. Everything is tastefully displayed, labeled and arranged. The classic storefront, easy to navigate location and ample parking make this museum even more inviting. There is a reason this museum is a 2022 stop on the Nebraska Passport Program. We are glad we stopped! read more
