Gibbon’s Riverside Cemetery hosts Beyond The Grave
Local history came to life courtesy of the Beyond The Grave event held at Gibbon’s Riverside Cemetery and sponsored by the Buffalo County Historical Society (BCHS)-Trails and Rails Museum and Gibbon Heritage Center on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 1, 2 and 3, as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Gibbon’s founding. The family friendly event featured stories of those pioneers who impacted the founding and success of the community in the early years. “The program went very well,” stated Broc Anderson, Community Engagement Director of the BCHS. “BCHS and the Gibbon Heritage Center couldn’t be happier about the turnout and the quality of the program.” Attendees listened to Ken and Lynn Schafer speaking about and impersonating William and Dina Nutter at their graves (above) and Gibbon resident Karl Borden impersonated Samuel Bassett (below).
