1863 The Year that Changed Everything
BEATRICE, Neb. – Come to Homestead National Historical Park’s Education Center on Sunday, August 13, at 2:00 p.m. to hear artist in residence, Betsy Iversen, as she shares the research and thoughts she developed about the monumental year of 1863. Transferring of land from public domain to the people and using rail to connect the east coast to the west coast were just a couple of the projects that were kicked off in 1863 – changing everything.
The Artist in Residence program celebrates all forms of art including writing. This program will celebrate the first part of any good writing – the research.
This event will be at Homestead National Historical Park's Education Center. As always, admission to the park and to all park events is free. For information on available accommodations please contact Accessibility Coordinator, Amber Kirkendall at (402) 223-3514 or e-mail us.
