Adventure 2/50

Jail in Harvard, NE

Working on this list of 50 adventures I found the website Atlas Obscura and searched Nebraska. One of the 'world's most extraordinary sights" is in Harvard, NE. This small town with a population of about 1,000 people has a 130 year old jail that was owned by a teenage boy and then Charlie McCarthy bought it with war bonds. The sign next to the jail tells the story of its unusual owners.

Since Harvard is relatively close (50 miles round trip) I decided to make this my second adventure. I got Izzy into the truck, packed her some water, stopped for a chocolate shake for myself and headed south out of town. 

 I don't think I have ever been to Harvard so I drove around town a little before we stopped at the jail. It was easy enough to find and Izzy was excited to get out of the truck and check it out. So here are pictures from my little adventure to see a jail on a Sunday afternoon.
