Alliance, NE – The Knight Museum & Sandhills Center will conclude its three-part Spade Ranch Summer Series on Thursday, August 20, at 5:30 p.m. with a final presentation exploring the rise, fall, and preservation of one of western Nebraska’s most significant ranching operations.
Steve Cleveland will present “The Rise, Fall, and Preservation of the Spade Ranch.” The 30- minute program will explore the growth of the Spade Ranch, the changes and events that led to its decline, and the efforts that have helped preserve its history and stories for future generations.
Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and- answer session and explore the Spade Ranch interpretive panel series currently on display at the Knight Museum & Sandhills Center.
The August presentation is the final installment of a three-part summer series dedicated to exploring different chapters of the Spade Ranch story. Programs held throughout the summer have provided opportunities to learn more about the ranch, the people connected to it, and its role in the history and development of the Nebraska Sandhills.
Guests do not need to have attended the previous programs to enjoy the final presentation.
Anyone with an interest in local history, ranching heritage, the Nebraska Sandhills, or the Spade Ranch is encouraged to attend.
