Webster County Historical Museum
Located 6 blocks west of downtown Red Cloud, on Nebraska Byway 136. Our museum is housed in a beautiful 1909 classic revival style brick mansion. The rich heritage of the early settlers of the county during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s is depicted throughout the four floors.
