"Pedaling the Past" returns to Kearney October 7 for Humanities Week.
The tour progresses mostly chronologically, from Union Pacific Railroad’s arrival in the 1860s to changes in the early 1900s. Points of interest along the route include the Kearney Canal and state’s oldest hydroelectric plant, the Kearney Cotton Mill, which closed in 1901, the Nebraska State Industrial School (now the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center) and West Kearney, a large development that began in the early 1890s and is now a cornfield.
