sections will sleep 16 people, complete with a sitting area, gas
fireplace and a full kitchen.
The dedication ceremony for the reconstructed officers quarters
illustrated the importance of building strong relationships
with those who visit state parks. The event paid special
acknowledgment to the late Don and Olive Forney of Rushville,
lifetime residents of northwestern Nebraska who were ardent
supporters of the region — including its wildlife, parks and
natural resources. The Forney family, along with friends of Don
and Olive, provided significant financial contributions for the $1.7
million building. Nearly 75 percent of the project's costs came
from private donations through the Nebraska Game and Parks
Foundation.
