Brownville Museum
(KLZA)-- The Johnson County Historical Society and the Brownville Historical Society have been notified they are among 27 recipients of grants from the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation.
The total amount of grant monies awarded totaled $25 thousand. The funds help organizations such as museums, historical societies and libraries with core education, preservation and interpretive programs about community history.
The Johnson County Historical Society Museum complex consists of three historic buildings with the main building and the rural schoolhouse located at one site and the Old Jail standing on its original location nearby. The main museum is housed in the historic Christian Church that was built in 1888 with pews from the original church, an organ, and pulpits displayed at the front of the building. Adjacent to the church is the restored District 73 schoolhouse. The church building includes a variety of exhibits, many of which are displayed in free-standing cases.
The Brownville Historical Society began in December 1956 with the express purpose of maintaining the historical heritage, the landmarks and the picturesque buildings of Brownville. Museums hold the artifacts of life in early Nebraska and the Society maintains these properties.
