Brownville, the Adventure.

Image
Our family went on a weekend adventure!  We headed to the eastern part of the state. Our first stop was in Brownville, NE.  It is an adorable, historic river town south of Omaha. The kids and I went wandering in one direction and the other adults went in the other. I was here once before.  We ended up eating here and buying books here before leaving. Our adventure included some friends as well. They have a walking trail through town. We were very excited when we came upon this plaque.  And then we read it! Can you read it? "On this site in 1897 nothing happened."  Hahaha! We found this bench, in memory of all the men and women who have lost their lives in the Missouri River.  Real, but different. Brenna helped governor Furnas plant his tree and start Arbor Day! The kids humored me and posed next to the historical markers.  That is why I'd been to Brownville before. We checked out the log cabin. And more markers. Heh
