Mayhew Cabin Reopens on Juneteenth

On Juneteenth, Nebraska’s oldest Underground Railroad stop—the Mayhew Cabin—reopens after seven years of restoration, honoring the brave souls who risked everything to help enslaved people escape to freedom. Built in 1855, this historic cabin sheltered freedom seekers, even hosted John Brown’s associate, and witnessed a birth during a perilous journey. Descendants like Darryl Hogan remember the terror of slavery and the cabin’s life-saving role. After devastating floods in 2019, a community rallied to restore it, with craftsman Butch Bovier leading the effort. Now standing as a beacon of resilience, the cabin invites visitors to reflect on America’s fight for freedom and the enduring power of ordinary people standing up for justice.
