CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER. WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE

Our last “Sunday at the Museum” of the year will feature a popular Humanities Nebraska speaker and one of our favorite historians, Nancy Gillis, with The Poet as Historian: John G. Neihardt and Gerard M. Hopkins.  

This presentation provides a look at how a poet writes of an historical event differently than an academic historian by comparing the work of two contemporary poets, the American John G. Neihardt and the English Anglican Priest Gerard M. Hopkins, and how each relates a tragic historical event. Gillis believes "if you want to learn the facts, read the textbooks, but if you want to feel them, read the poets."

Our condolences to the family and friends of Cherrie Beam-Calloway, who passed away on Sept. 11, 2025. Her “Grit ‘N Gumption: Homesteading in Nebraska” was originally scheduled for this date.

Admission is free. A light reception will follow.
