The Custer County Museum presents an updated exhibit of pioneer photographer Solomon D. Butcher photos, with captions including area history and pioneer heritage. The open house runs from 1-5, and Lance Bristol and Tammy Hendrickson will speak about the exhibit at 6:30 p.m.

Solomon D. Butcher took the bulk of his photographs in Custer County where he lived most of his life and where he is buried. The Nebraska State Historical Society owns the existing Butcher negatives and has made his work available to the American public. The Custer County Historical Society owns many original prints donated by the families pictured therein, families who–in many cases–still live on the land Butcher photographed, in homes whose walls are still made warmer by “an original Butcher.”

The museum is open Monday through Friday 1 to 5 p.m.
