DeWitty Nebraska

I grew up in the Sandhills, and Dewitty was an hour away from where I lived. It was a settlement of black homesteaders, that I had no idea existed, until I came acorss this historic marker. It is along Highway 83 in Cherry County, Nebraska.

If you're interested and would like to learn more, there's a great article from the National Park Service. There is other information as well if you do a quick Google search. This is why history is important, I lived in the area, and didn't know about DeWitty. I walked around a bit to try to find the base of a house, but it's all prairie now, and covered by the long grass.
