The Alliance Museum staff works hard to preserve and share the history of Alliance and the Nebraska Panhandle for Alliance citizens and visitors. Thanks to the tax dollars of our residents, they offer a variety of services to the community for free. The Knight Museum and Sandhills Center offers catering and room rentals for a minimal fee and house a public conference room free to use during business hours. This innovative historical Museum displays an impressive collection for visitors be immersed in while getting a glimpse of how life was lived by the people who settled in the Nebraska Sandhills. The Museums displays were curated by former Smithsonian Preservationists. The Heritage room is famous for its broad range of genealogy research and vast knowledge held within their database. They often host events for the public to attend, providing activities for everyone. The Sallows Military Museum’s stated purpose is to “Remember, Honor, and Educate”, and is dedicated to the men and women who served our country in time of conflict. This unique quality provides a view of our nation’s conflicts and sacrifice through the eyes of those men and women.
