In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, the Cloud County Museum will present the second program in its series, “Who Was This Mystery Colonist?”
This engaging program invites the public to discover the story of a Cloud County resident’s ancestor who came to America with his father, was known by the honorary title of Captain ?, and was a friend of the Mohicans. Many may not realize that their own ancestors played a role in shaping the nation’s history. This series highlights the fascinating and often surprising family connections within our community—exploring where these individuals came from, what they did, and how their contributions helped form our country.
The program will feature a PowerPoint presentation with maps and artwork, along with a living history component as the featured figure is portrayed in period-appropriate attire. Attendees will also have the opportunity to guess the identity of the mystery colonist based on clues presented at the beginning of the program.
The event will be held at the Cloud County Museum on May 9 at 2:00 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. Please use the main entrance on 7th Street. Refreshments will be provided.
