SHERMAN COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Sherman County Historical Museum has been asked by Nebraska Game and Parks to be one of fifty trails in Nebraska that represent Nebraska’s history. By May 1st, the museum will have a Trail Trek sign on display and will leave it up until September 30th. Since this is America’s 250th anniversary, the museum is honored to be one of the selected sites. The Facebook link is https// www.facebook.com/ YourParksAdventure/ A.D. Norling’s store is often a reference point in Litchfield’s news articles. For example, the Litchfield Monitor referred to his store when reporting the fire “in an old building back of A. D.
Norlings” in February 1909 that could have taken the whole block had it not been for the crowd’s quick action. Or in February 1910, when Sherman Porter advertised “We have moved to the New Building south of Norling’s store…” Norling did own a ranch in the Litchfield area, specifically the NW/4 of 26-14-16 in Harrison Township. Sometimes he and his family lived on the ranch, and sometimes he leased it out.
