Summary
The William Hamilton house, a two-story stone dwelling constructed about 1856, was built for the Reverend William Hamilton, a leading figure in Nebraska's early religious history. Hamilton came to Nebraska to direct the Presbyterian Indian Mission established at Bellevue, where the house is located, and became an influential pioneer missionary in Sarpy and Thurston counties. He devoted much of his life ministering to the Omaha Indians.
