Each change has had an impact on the community, and drawn the residents of the village and trade area closer together. The village, active in the NCIP, has received placement awards each year since 1964. Improvement projects include the activation of our community building in the old high school and the establishment of a new park. The Gresham Public Library, from its humble beginnings in 1900 by the Woman's Club, currently houses more than 8,500 completely indexed and filed volumes. It has always been staffed entirely by volunteers.
People can either help facilitate change, or give up.
In a way, the old town is long-gone, but in a much broader sense, the community of Gresham lives on, and will continue to do so far into its second century. James once slept here. By Ruth S. Zersen, Gresham, NE 68367. Vol I, Gresham Centennial History Committee.
