SHERMAN COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Among our other activities this spring, the Sherman County Historical Society has applied for a Nebraska State Historical Marker to commemorate the first woman doctor in Sherman County, Mary Ann Keller Hendrickson.

However, Hendrickson’s story is interesting and worth sharing.
