The people you'll meet...
It's the people that truly define a community, and we're proud of the characters in Grand Island. The characters featured in this section will extend to you Midwestern hospitality as you encounter them in galleries, at museums, or eating great local food. They embody the traits found in so many Grand Islanders that visitors will find, metaphorically, to be a breath of fresh air — just like the fresh prairie air they'll inhale while visiting Grand Island.
"I don't think anyone in Grand Island does anything without passion."
-Kari Stofer, Stuhr Museum Curator
