Stuhr Museum staff members enjoyed some friendly competition with Buffalo County Historical Society/Trails & Rails Museum! As part of Kearney's Sesquicentennial celebrations, a special vintage baseball game was held at historic Memorial Field in Kearney with the two museums playing head-to-head and finishing the game in a tie. Thank you to Trails & Rails Museum along with Kearney Parks & Recreation for making the game happen!
