NEBRASKA CITY - Dean Shissler of the Nebraska Museum Association told city commissioners Monday that last year’s flooding caused a dip in museum attendance, but the resident admission program is working well.

Nebraska City’s museums and attractions had 12,500 visitors from May through October.

With the closing of the Mayhew Cabin in May due to flooding, total visitations were down by 3,445 from 2018.

Shissler said the decrease is also due to Missouri River flooding and road closures.

Local attendance was at its highest in 2019, however.

Top sites are the MRB Lewis and Clark Center, followed by Kregel Windmill Factory Museum and NC Museum of Firefighting.
