The Bonham Theatre Project is a non-profit, community-supported project located in the small town of Daykin, Nebraska. The project aims to restore and revitalize the historic Bonham Theatre, which was built in 1926 and has been a beloved local landmark for nearly a century.

The project is focused on preserving the art deco style and character of the original theater while updating it with modern amenities and technology. The renovated Bonham Theatre will include a state-of-the-art digital projection system, surround sound, and comfortable seating.

In addition to showing movies, the Bonham Theatre Project plans to use the space for live performances, community events, and educational programs. The project’s goal is to create a vibrant cultural hub in Daykin and provide a gathering place for residents and visitors alike.

The Bonham Theatre Project has been a community effort from the start, with volunteers and donors coming together to make the restoration a reality. The project received a grant from the Nebraska Cultural Endowment and has also received support from local businesses and individuals.

The Bonham Theatre Project is a testament to the power of community and the importance of preserving historic landmarks. When the renovation is complete, the Bonham Theatre will once again be a source of pride for Daykin residents and a beacon for visitors from across the region.

Homestead National Monument In January, 2021, at the behest of the Republican led legislature of Nebraska, the Republican led US Congress demoted the 85 year old Homestead National Monument to Homestead National Historical Park. The law decreeing this is written to give it the 1984 treatment, mandating that all references be changed. As a result, the National Park Service history page now says that it was designated as a national historical park 85 years ago, rather than noting that it was re-designated in 2021. They have gone so far down this false narrative that a government representative has contacted me to rename my photos here on Flickr. I have refused.

------------------------------------------

Homestead National Monument of America, a unit of the National Park System, commemorates passage of the Homestead Act of 1862, which allowed any qualified person to claim up to 160 acres (0.65 km2) of federally owned land in exchange for five years of residence and the cultivation and improvement of the property. The Act eventually transferred 270,000,000 acres (1,100,000 km2) from public to private ownership.

The national monument is five miles west of Beatrice, Gage County, Nebraska on a site that includes some of the first acres successfully claimed under the Homestead Act. The national monument was first included in the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966 (ID 66000115).

The Homestead Heritage Center, dedicated in 2007, contains exhibits that treat the effect of the Homestead Act on immigration, agriculture, native tribes, the tallgrass prairie ecosystem, and federal land policy. The roof line of the center resembles a &quot;single bottom plow moving through the sod,&quot; and the parking lot measures exactly 1-acre (4,000 m2). A separate Education Center features science and social science presentations that can be shared with classrooms anywhere in the United States through distance-learning.
