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.

Have you ever got to that point in your life when you thought, "I wish I could do more exercise, but I just don't know where to start." "I don't have time to exercise." Yesterday was the point in my life. I am a full time working mother of two girls. I get so tired so fast, I also have some medical issues that add to that tired feeling. I want to be healthy for myself, but also healthy for my family.

Today I am starting Couch 2 5K. If you are interested below is the chart you can follow. I also downloaded an app called C25K on the android operating system that gives you prompts and tells you what to do. You can even listen to music on your phone and it comes over the music. I'm not a runner....but ANY means. I do enjoy walking but wish I would get more out of it. So I think this will be PERFECT for me. I'm super excited. And if you are interested in participating even for moral support you can email me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Be sure to take your weight and measurements before you start. You might not lose weight right away, but you will see the inches melt away.

Starting the week of March 31, if you plan to drive on Highway 75 between Union and Nebraska City, you will probably need to add at least a half hour to your trip.

A six-mile stretch of highway south of the Union corner will be shut down until September while crews rebuild the road.

Either plan to detour west on Hwy 34 to Hwy 50, then south to Hwy 2, or go across the Plattsmouth toll bridge to I-29 and down the interstate.

Plan accordingly, so you don't have to hurry!

BE SAFE AND THAT KEEPS OTHERS SAFE, TOO!
