I would have never imagined there was so much interesting information about Aurora. A lot of the information in the Plainsman Museum was pioneers, and early settlers. There were covered wagons, and other artifacts used by some of the first settlers in Aurora. There were early guns, some being from the military and some were used to hunt. There was a replica of the jail that was in town when the early settlers started arriving. Being a farming community, another great deal of the information was about farming and agriculture. There were pieces of farm equipment that was used in the area, and I even saw a stuffed two-headed calf that had come from the area. One of the one-room school houses used in Hamilton County that was called Fairview. It was one of the last one-room school houses used, it was closed in 1954. There were also items in the museum that my great-grandfather, Fay Perry had donated so I thought that was a part of the trip that brought some special meaning. Two of the donations Fay made were miniature models he made by hand. One of the models was of the Nebraska state capitol building, and the other was of the Aurora courthouse. Fay took great pride in his work and used much detail. A blacksmithing shop was one more exhibit I visited on my trip to Plainsman museum. The blacksmith shop is in working condition and even used for demonstrations on special occasions.
