Recent Rushville

Welcome to Rushville, Nebraska

This is the #1 place on the web for old photos and postcards of Rushville!

A great deal of time, research and money has gone into obtaining and documenting these images.

Please do not download or repost photos/text without permission!

I have plenty of OLD Rushville Photos, so I should include some more recent photos! And recent means post-1960s. And in color!!

Plains Theater on Highway 20 (aka 2nd Street). By the 1970s, the theater was being used as a church. Movies were no longer being shown. It is now the home of the Sheridan County Players.

Is that one of my classmates riding in the City Council car?

Nice car... reminds me of the '67 Mustang I had back in the '70s.

The posse heads down the street looking for someone to arrest! Wish I'd have gotten a photo when one of them rode into the Stockman's Bar to find a bad guy.
