Sunday at the Museum: “Listening to Corn Grow: My Childhood on a Nebraska Farm”

  • The John G. Neihardt State Historic Site 306 W. Elm St. Bancroft, NE 68004 USA (map)

Join Marilyn Hoegemeyer as she shares stories from her book, “Listening to Corn Grow: My Childhood on a Nebraska Farm.”

On her web site, there is a photo of Marilyn standing in 20 acres of never-plowed prairie land, part of her great-grandfather's 1870 homestead in northeastern Nebraska. This book is a collection of her memories growing up in the 1940s and 1950s on the family's nearby corn-breeding farm, and attending a one-room country school.

The book will be available for purchase. A signing and reception will follow.

This event is FREE and open to the public.
