Bellevue’s Cradle Town Marks Nebraska’s Early Progress
Bellevue College sits atop a hill overlooking the Missouri river and Platte valley as a fading symbol of Nebraska’s early growth. The old Presbyterian mission and brick mission house recall 1848 beginnings while the derelict court house, once civil authority, now houses only a historic Masonic lodge. Save these landmarks, sources urge, to keep the cradle of Nebraska from extinction.
