Willa Cather Statue Unveiling & Reception

6pm @National Willa Cather Center
June 5, 2025

Join us for refreshments at an unveiling as we celebrate the addition of Littleton Alston‘s larger-than-life statue of Willa Cather to the collection. This piece is Alston's second cast bronze of Willa Cather, and an exact replica of the Willa Cather statue that represents Nebraska as part of the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center. The acquisition was made possible through the generosity of Jay Yost and Wade Leak, Chuck Shoemaker and Lynn Friedewald, and more than a dozen patrons who purchased one-foot statuettes in support of the acquisition.

Free to attend! Public welcome!
