Newspapers are a great source to learn about history! Here at Legacy of the Plains Museum, we maintain a collection of local newspapers in an effort to preserve and share history and news. Our collection is mostly comprised of The Gering Courier and the Scottsbluff Star-Herald, but we have listed below several western Nebraska newspapers and provided links to help find them.
