The preservation of those landmarks, as well as long standing local businesses, contributes to what makes this city so unique.

Liberty Hall is a historic location and theater at 644 Mass. Street. It houses a concert hall, video store, coffee house and independent cinema. Its structure has been the same since 1912!
The Watkins Museum of History is located in the 1888 Watkins Land Mortgage and National Bank Building and has been a part of the community since 1975. This museum is a great place to learn more about Douglas County’s rich history! Located at 1047 Massachusetts Street.
