Event Details
June 22, 2004: Florence Tour:
June 22, 2004 is the date for a tour of the area that was Territorial
Florence before Nebraska became a state.
Florence was one of the initial river cities founded 150 years ago in
the new Nebraska Territory, said tour guide Linda Meigs. She is
director of the Florence Mill, 9102 N. 30th St., which is being
renovated into a cultural and educational center.
The tour on Ollie the Trolley will tell the "boom-to-nearly-bust saga" of Territorial Florence, Meigs said. Participants will meet at 2 P.M. at the Mormon Pioneer Cemetery, 33rd and State Streets.
Tickets are $10. Reservations should be made by Friday by calling
402-551-1233.
The mill, which is a historic landmark, is open to visitors until August 31 from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M. on Tuesdays through Sundays.
