Throwback Thursday: Race Meet Day, Main Street, Neligh, August 1912

Happy #ThrowbackThursday from Nebraska Memories!

This week’s black and white image was created by Frank Bauman. It is published and owned by the Antelope County Historical Society.

Located in Neligh, Nebraska, the Antelope County Historical Society collaborated with the Raymond A. Whitwer Memorial Library located in Tilden to digitize a collection of large glass plate negatives. These images depict life in Neligh and Antelope County in the early 1900s
