The Haunting

Visitors to Nebraska's oldest standing school building, built in 1897, may see more than just the museum exhibits. Legend has it that in 1944, a girl was fatally poisoned while playing her clarinet; the poison was found on her reed. Her apparition has been glimpsed along with a generally bad feeling especially felt by teachers, and music has been heard coming from the music room, even though there are no longer any instruments on the premises.

Visitors repeat the 1944 clarinet-poisoning legend, music-room sounds, teacher unease, and a girl apparition. Museum sources emphasize local-history exhibits and the preserved school building.
