To commemorate the past 125 years, we are collecting vintage photos and videos of Benson’s past. If you have images of the buildings, people and/or places from 1887 through 1990, please share them with us! We’ll make digital copies and return the originals to you. These will be used on our website, YouTube and at events throughout the 2012 celebration year.
SHARE YOUR MEMORIES!
We also want your interesting memories of old Benson – written or videotaped. For video stories, we’ll either come out and record it at your home or place of work or meet you at the community center.
Email BensonNebraska@gmail.com or call (402) 714-0290 today!
Thank you!
