STAPLETON, Neb. (AP) — The western Nebraska town of Stapleton is recognizing two milestones this month.

The town, which is about 30 miles north of North Platte, this week observed its 100th birthday and held a dedication ceremony for the town’s new community center.

Local media reports that the center has been four years in the making. The building was formerly a bowling alley.

The multi-use building is home to senior center meetings, council meetings and can be used for receptions and fairs.

Community leaders placed a time capsule with memorabilia from the first century of Stapleton’s history in the ceiling of the center to be opened in 2112.
