Willa Cather
A film showing how Willa Cather’s hometown and her love of Nebraska’s pioneer country influenced her writing kicks off your experience of the Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial in Red Cloud, Nebraska.
Then you can tour her childhood home, keeping in mind mentions of the home in her book, The Song of the Lark. Visit St. Juliana Catholic Church, a setting in My Antonia. See the farm home of Willa’s uncle, whose home and family inspired her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, One of Ours.
Anyone who reads Cather’s works knows Red Cloud intimately already, and it’s quite a treat to see it for yourself.
