Homestead National Monument of America will present the annual Winter Festival of Prairie Cultures November 23, 2018 through January 6, 2019. These sparkling holiday displays showcase the ethnic traditions of people who came to places like Nebraska to file Homestead Claims and become landowning citizens of the United States. These holiday displays which include trees, ornaments and other festive decorations will be at the Homestead National Monument of America Education Center and Heritage Center. Cultures represented include Czech, French, German, Jewish, Irish, Polish, Scottish, Swedish, and Welsh.
In addition to the holiday displays, there will be special presentations on November 25, December 2 and December 9, 2018:

Funding for this program comes from the generous support of Humanities Nebraska.
