community spirit. Built in 1905, the Opera House held its first performance, “The Homeseekers,” in February 1906. Over the next 100 years, an array of live performances played at the Opera House – Chautauquas, theater, Lyceum speeches, medicine shows and opera. Akron was on the Pembina rail line, which brought traveling troupes of actors, musicians and politicians to rural communities.
A certain magic happened when players came to Iowa and mingled with the locals. Community members could see famous people and taste the culture of such large cities as Kansas City, Chicago and Minneapolis. The Opera House shows six to seven shows per year.

He had had nothing to eat for 16 days but wild berries and a rabbit he shot with a stick from his gun after he used all of his ammunition. Wayside signs mark historic moments in Shannon’s life, as well as 13 life-size wooden chainsaw statues of Shannon, each in a different pose and one complete with a horse, located in participating communities on the trail. The rugged wooded terrain of the Shannon Trail is also reportedly where Jesse James hid, in an

Nebraska Outlaw Trail WHAT: The Nebraska Out-
law Trail scenic byway, on Highway 12, stretches 231 miles across northeast and north-central Nebraska. What took pioneers, outlaws, cowboys and Native Americans days and weeks to traverse, now becomes a day-cation. It offers a picturesque journey through diverse Nebraska landscapes – great vistas encompass clear blue sky, native stands of oak trees, bottom lands, cottonwood forests, wetlands, bluffs, pine and cedar forests, open prairie, lush cropland and wildlife. Ride covered wagons through elk and buffalo herds, canoe one of the top 10 canoeing rivers in the U.S., hunt, fish, bike or hike the trail. Discover state parks and the outlaw stories of Jesse James and his gang. WHEN: Open year-round WHERE: Nebraska Highway 12, South Sioux City to Valentine, Neb. MORE INFO: nebraskaoutlawtrail.org
WHAT: The Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery had heard tales of “a hill of little devils” that was said to be inhabited by spirits. It was rumored that these little people could kill people with their arrows at great distances. At the mound the expedition didn’t find any little people but did find a “most butifull landscape.” Spirit Mound Historic Prairie is open for hiking and nature observation and is in the process of being restored to native prairie grasses. Because of modern dams on the Missouri River, there are very few places where a person can stand today and know that Lewis and Clark stood in the same exact location. Spirit Mound is one of those few sites. Spirit Mound, which spans 320 acres, is home to a rich variety of prairie wildflowers and grasses, and fritillary butterflies, birds and other prairie animals. WHEN: Open year-round when State Park is in operation WHERE: 31148 South Dakota Highway 19, Vermillion, S.D. MORE INFO: Park entrance license not required.
