Summary
The town's business center was described in many of Willa Cather's writings, both as it was when the Cather family first moved to Red Cloud and as it was dramatically transformed during Cather's childhood. Her novels, Lucy Gayheart and My Antonia, both contain scenes drawn from downtown Red Cloud. The short story, "Two Friends," also takes place in the business district.

About the National Register of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the country’s official list of historically significant properties. To be eligible for the NRHP a property must generally retain their historic appearance, be at least 50 years old, and have the potential to be documented as historically or architecturally significant at either the local, state, or national level. The National Register of Historic Places is a National Park Service program administered by the Nebraska State Historical Society for the state of Nebraska. Visit the Nebraska State Historical Society's website to learn more about the program.
