The Fabulous Friday program, every second Friday of the month, features various guest speakers about Buffalo County's history. Organized by Mary Beth Lowe, Janice Martin, Vicki Bissell, and Sharon Martin, these free programs are made available to the public in the West Wing of the Family History Center at the Trails & Rails Museum as part of our mission to continue telling Buffalo County history. Please stay tuned to our "BuffaloCounty HistoricalSociety" Facebook page as we frequently go live during these programs!

GHOST HUNTS
As most people in Kearney know, we are reported to be haunted. If you have ever wanted to experience signs from the afterlife, such as voices, smells, touches from unseen hands, footsteps then taking part in one of our Ghost Hunts might be for you!
We offer Ghost Hunts frequently, especially in October. Dates and times are subject to the preferences of guests and guide availability.
See the registration form for more information!
