The Complete Sid Tobler Collection presented by WCHM & WCF 

Webster County Historical Museum Director Teresa Young and Willa Cather Foundation Education Director & Archivist Tracy Tucker will discuss items from the vast Sid Tobler Collection on May 28-29 from 10am to 12pm at the National Willa Cather Center. After returning from service in the United States Army, Tobler began photographing Red Cloud's business district, its merchants and customers, chronicling both the big events and everyday happenings of the town. His photographs are a visual time capsule of Red Cloud throughout the '50s, '60s, and '70s.
