Processing
You probably already knew that Dannebrog is considered the “Danish Capital of Nebraska.” And that it was settled in 1871 by a group from the Danish Land and Homestead Company. And that the leader of the group was named Lars Hannibal*. And that, with Germans, Czechs, Poles, and Swedes also settling there, Lars’s dream of an exclusive Danish settlement was never realized.**
But did you know you can get all your custom slaughtering needs met here at the Dannebrog Processing Plant?

Yes, and who’d even think that a sedate mostly-Danish town in Nebraska would be the site for something like that? It’s the perfect cover!

Yes – and you’re in Colorado, right? All you have to do is turn left off the Interstate at Grand Island, the left again at St. Paul,and then you’re there. It just couldn’t be more convenient!

Thank you, Ron! I try to photograph historical makers so I’ve got the information at hand later, when I write the blog. This little town had a particularly informative sign. (And greetings back, from Texas.)
