2014-06-25 WeepingWaterAcademy 
 
The Weeping Water Valley Historical Society is pleased to announce that it has recently acquired the historic Weeping Water Academy building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The First United Congregational Church of Weeping Water has passed this historic landmark on to the Society to ensure the viability of this unique local treasure. In celebration, the Society will have the building open to the public on Saturday, June 28, during Weeping Water's Limestone Day from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The other buildings in the complex, including the Kunkel Building, Heritage House, Doctor's Office, and Memory Lane Museum will also be open. There will also be blacksmith, and rope making demonstrations, along with other activities, on the grounds. 
 
Constructed in 1871, the building was first used as the Congregational Church. In 1885, the Weeping Water Academy was established by a group of local supporters as a non-denominational Christian academy for college-bound students. The old Congregational church provided space for the chapel, classrooms, and library. During its 29 years of existence, the Academy had some 220 graduates, and over 1500 students. By the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the academy closed, partially due to the decreased enrollment with the improvement of local public education in the area.
In 1917, the building was leased to the City of Weeping Water for use as the public library. The library was housed in the building until 2011. 
 
The Weeping Water Valley Historical Society Museum Complex is located in Weeping Water, about thirty miles south of Omaha down Highway 50 and thirty miles east of Lincoln on Highway 34. For the size of the town, the museum really is a sight to see. You can view displays on local Native American culture, frontier life, visit a late 1800's home and doctor's office, or see recreations of Weeping Water's early businesses.

 A lug is a measurement to measure produce.  A lug of peaches would be around 25 pounds,  less than a bushel.  That would make a lot of peach pies or jam!

Cass Classifieds Everywhere! 
 
All of the Cass County and surrounding communities will be able to post FREE any buy or sell ads for general merchandise such as mowers, baby cribs, cars, computers and real estate right here.   See the 'CLASSIFIED ADS' tab above.  
 
 We especially hope that the Classified Ads will be used to post jobs, look for positions, and post special events, birthdays, church events and garage sales.  Certainly there are lots of places on the Internet to post ads, but some folks are uncomfortable with using EBay or Craigslist.
 
 Step 1:  You do need to have an account, and an email address to manage your ads. You will be notified to renew your ad, you can change info, pricing, and pics as long as you have this account.
  
 Step 2:   Create an ad, indicate where it is, i.e.  Murray, Eagle, Louisville, etc.  and post it.
  
 Step 3:   Wait for approval. We will approve ads ASAP.  We need to make sure that it is a real ad, and if anything needs editing, we will do so.
  
 Step 4:  Post it to Facebook if you like! 
 
 Ads will now show everywhere, regardless if it was posted in Elmwood, Alvo or on any other of our community websites.   Ads will also be Goggle/Twitter searchable as well as location, travel directions searchable. 
So, get cracking!  Create that account, and post everything in your garage and basement!
