How have Nebraska communities changed over time? Are there any similarities among our rural and urban places? Where do the suburban Nebraskan communities fit into our history? These questions will be answered at a special community conversation on Thursday, October 22, at Riverside Lodge at Mahoney State Park. The program will run from 4:30 pm. to 6:00 p.m. and will feature John Carter, senior research analyst with the Nebraska State Historical Society. There is no charge for the program, which is supported by the Nebraska Humanities Council.
The community conversation will focus on how Nebraska’s rural, suburban and urban communities share a connection that bridges who we are and how we rely on one another. Participants will take home materials to replicate the conversations in their own communities. Those materials will also be accessible on the Heartland Center’s website at www.heartlandcenter.info.
The Heartland Center for Leadership Development is an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is helping community leaders prepare for the challenges of the future. The Nebraska Humanities Council promotes a better understanding of Nebraska—who we are and where we have been—to build a better future. The council is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which was chartered by an act of the U.S. Congress.
