Known as the Victorian Capital of Nebraska,
Superior
is located on the southern border of Nebraska.
Superior
takes great pride in its Victorian heritage by celebrating each
Memorial Day weekend with the Lady Vestey Festival.
Lady Vestey, known as Evelene Brodstone, lived in Superior
and worked her way up to the executive position at Vestey Cold Storage
Company, earning $250,000/year, making her the highest paid woman
in the world at that time. She
also is well known for marrying Lord Vestey and relocating to London.
Although Lady Vestey moved thousands of miles
away from her hometown,
Superior,
NE
was still very dear to her. She
contributed a bridge for Lincoln Park, land for a bird sanctuary and a
children’s playground, along with enough money to build Brodstone
Memorial Hospital, which is Superior’s largest employer to date.
Superior
also provides a vast array of activities and culture.
They have a winery, golf courses,
Lovewell
Lake, a swimming pool, camping, a museum, and is the home to Sauerkraut
pizza!
