The Lincoln County Historical Museum proudly showcases an inspiring exhibit dedicated to the North Platte Canteen, a heartfelt tribute to the incredible spirit of the community during WWII. At a time when soldiers made brief stops in North Platte, locals came together to provide nourishment and comfort to thousands of troops passing through. The exhibit offers a moving look at this pivotal moment in history, and guests can enjoy a Canteen-style meal, just like the one served to the soldiers, while experiencing an informative presentation that brings this remarkable story to life. It’s a powerful reminder of community, generosity, and the impact of small acts of kindness during a challenging time.
