Join the Willa Cather Archive in partnership with the Willa Cather Foundation, Audubon Nebraska, and the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary for an ecotourism event focused on Willa Cather’s My Ántonia and the complex ecosystem of central Nebraska. This event is part of a series of events funded by Humanities Nebraska celebrating the centennial of the publication of My Ántonia in 2018.

Ken Anderson was born and raised in Nebraska, and as a youth, enjoyed drawing and painting, receiving several awards for his artwork. He attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln with a focus in Architecture and graduated with a degree in Business. He went on to own Anderson’s Kitchens where his talent as an artist was used in hand-rendered drawings for the beautiful custom kitchens he designed, winning three national awards for his creativity.

Various events will be taking place across the state and nation in celebration of the centennial publication of Willa Cather's My Ántonia.

A special website has been set up for the celebration. Please visit http://myantonia100.org for complete details and the most updated information on events!

What can you expect from Lloyd McCarter & the Honky-Tonk Revival? A toe tapping good time.  They play good country music the way it used to be according to McCarter.

Growing up in a musical family, Lloyd McCarter is well-steeped in honky-tonk music. Starting at the age of eight, Lloyd began playing in the family band. By the age of 18, he was touring with the FortyTwenty band, playing the pedal steel guitar.
