Throwback Thursday: Ammunition Storage
It’s another #throwback from Nebraska Memories!
This 7″ x 3-7/8″ black and white photograph shows ammunition dump, D-101, at the Sioux Army Depot. The Sioux Army Depot was established March 23, 1942 on 19,771 acres off Highway 30. The depot warehoused and distributed ammunition and general supplies. 35 farm families were forced to move to make way for the depot. The depot was deactivated on June 30, 1967.
This image is published and owned by the Cheyenne County Historical Society and Museum. Located in Sidney, the Cheyenne County Historical Society and Museum worked with the Nebraska Library Commission to digitize items from their collection of historical photographs representing people and places of Sidney, Fort Sidney, Potter, Dalton and other communities and sites in the county. Images in this collection include photographs showing business districts in the heart of these towns, troops stationed at the fort, and William Jennings Bryan speaking at the Cheyenne County Court House.
