Rushville Farm And Ranch Views
Welcome to Rushville, Nebraska
This is the #1 place on the web for old photos, postcards and history of Rushville!
A great deal of time, research and money has gone into obtaining and documenting these images.

While not a Rushville photo, soddies were the earliest homes on the prairie.

Love this photo. This is my uncles Brant and Bill holding lambs. Note the outhouse up on the hill (to the left). It was in the same location when I was a kid (before we got indoor plumbin').
Working on the William Holzberger farm.
My grandfather, Anton Rasmussen (left), using a hay fork to stack hay.
My dad, Vernon Hindman, with horses and some sort of planting device. Photo likely taken about early 1940s.
Back in the day, you'd just walk up to the cow and milk it... No stanchion needed. Well trained cattle needed.
Harvesting wheat on the Winston place (SE edge of Rushville) in 1972.
Modisett Ranch, located in the Sandhills, south of Rushville. Great photo of the ranch with plenty of cattle and horse and buggy in foreground. Photo by Ray.
