Events for July 2015
Beatrice Area Chamber of Commerce & Gage County Tourism
Mar 29 - Sep 7    "See the Great Plains" Exhibit
“See the Great Plains” Poster Series Ecotourism Exhibit 
to Open at Homestead National Monument of America  


Homestead National Monument of America is excited to announce the opening of its newest exhibit titled See the Great Plains.  The exhibit will open at the Monument’s Education Center on Sunday, March 29, 2015.  Designed by Lincoln, Nebraska artist Katie Nieland, See the Great Plains is a special ecotourism poster exhibit on loan from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Great Plains Studies.  The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on display through Labor Day weekend.
 
See the Great Plains features 12 posters designed in a style that pays homage to the 1930s Works Progress Administration’s posters for the National Parks.  These posters feature scenes from across the Great Plains.  The poster series is designed to bring awareness to the beautiful destination sites throughout the region.  Each site has been identified by the Center for Great Plains Studies as an ecotourism site and encourages travelers to visit these ecological marvels. 
 
“Ecotourism offers a way to combine conservation of biodiversity with new economic opportunities for rural towns across the Great Plains, and it’s the best way to engage with the natural beauty and wonder of the region,” said Dr. Richard Edwards, Director of the Center for Great Plains Studies.  With posters baring titles like “Bison Rebirth: See the Largest Land Mammal In North America” and “Dancing Chickens: The original Sandhills Hoe-Down” you will not want to miss your chance to see this exceptional exhibit!  Additionally, you can collect them all -- posters and postcards will be for sale at Homestead’s bookstores.
 
Remember, Homestead National Monument of America has an exciting schedule of events planned for 2015. Keep up with the latest information by following us on Twitter (HomesteadNM) and Facebook (Homestead National Monument of America).
Homestead National Monument of America is a unit of the National Park Service located four miles west of Beatrice, Nebraska. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is free of charge. For additional information, please call 402-223-3514 or visit http://www.nps.gov/home/index.htm.
