Autumn is one of the best times of year to visit Red Cloud. Since reopening in July, we have added several new offerings for our guests.

Nancy and Bernie Picchi have been longtime supporters of all that we do in Red Cloud. Read more about their latest gift.

Through the generosity of several of our longtime supporters, we were excited to complete several conservation treatments of artwork from our holdings. One of these was an original W.T. Benda illustration for Willa Cather’s novel My Ántonia, lovingly presented to a friend. The inscription, which reads “A Benda original, with best wishes for a Merry Christmas! Willa” had been cut off and pasted to the back of the frame which held the drawing itself.
