GIBBON, Neb. (AP) — The Gibbon Heritage Center, built more than 125 years ago, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The center was originally built in 1889 as the Gibbon Baptist Church. The red brick, Gothic-style structure was built with the labor of men in the congregation.

In 1966, the congregation outgrew the building, and local business owners D.E. and Lillian McGregor bought it.

The building was used for various purposes until May 12, 1975, when the McGregors presented the deed to the city and established an annual building maintenance gift.

The building now contains collections of photographs and archives of histories of organizations, clubs and churches, as well as a collection of Gibbon Reporter newspapers dating to the late 1800s.
