The Bell-Jenne House
20th & Harlan (Hwy 73)
Falls City, Nebraska
This fine museum building was acquired in 2002 and now gives us ample space for items that were once stored in 5 locations with no public access. The collection continues to grow. Plans are made to build a new Agricultural Warehouse Building next door to display the large implement and farm tool collection.

An 1880's home with rooms reflecting the decor of the times.
