Kearney Community Hall

Kearney Community Hall We are a non-profit board that in 2011 began an effort to restore the Kearney Community Hall for community use.

Built in the early 1950's on private land adjacent to US Hwy 87 south of Story, WY in Johnson County, it was abandoned in the early 1990's.

It was a busy day at the Hall yesterday. Fort Phil Kearny/Bozeman Trail Association headed up a presentation on the 159th anniversary of the nearby Fetterman Battle. Then, following their arrival and ceremony at the Fetterman monument, the 'Youth Riders", their support team, and the public gathered for a potluck meal. We estimated 80-plus in attendance and are already making plans for a similar event next year. A big THANKS! to all that participated and contributed!

Here’s catching up on a few recent events at the Hall

Kins Gwen & Wes Urbaniak were passing through on a little tour, & managed to treated us to a lovely evening of music and storytelling last Wednesday. This was our first shot at an event strictly for listening, and we hope to do more of it!

Then Kearney Hall hosted a Family Square Dance on Friday November 7 with the “Really Something String Band” and local callers. These are always lotsa ‘good clean’ fun!

And Fort Phil Kearny/Bozeman Trail Association presented their Annual Veteran’s Day program; this year’s topic was 'General Washington’s Spy Ring and Civil War Spies'. I had no idea this was a deal.

Thanks to all those behind the mic’s, those doing the planning, and the Hall and donors that have made this possible!

We’ll do our best to post future events on FB and on our event calendar at https://www.kearneyhall.org/

11/06/2025

Kearney Community Hall will be hosting another ‘Family Dance” Friday November 7, 6:30 – 8:30.
