Bicentennial Reflections | Schuyler County’s Story

Presented by The Hub – Arts and Cultural Center in partnership with the Schuyler Jail Museum

Step Into 200 Years of Schuyler County History

From the Indigenous people who first called this land home to the diverse community we know today, Bicentennial Reflections tells the story of Schuyler County’s resilience, growth, and traditions.

Explore our county’s ties to Abraham Lincoln, discover how the railroad shaped our towns, and relive celebrations like Smiles Day and the Schuyler County Fair. Rare photographs, artifacts, and stories bring our shared history to life.

Take the Exhibit on the Road
