The Edward Durell Stone-designed Stuhr Building is the visual anchor of the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer’s 200 acre living history experience. The white concrete structure elegantly rises out of the surrounding prairie, a guidepost to the museum which rests at the intersections of US Highways 34 and 281. Ducks, geese and a great blue heron dip their heads into the moat encircling the building to forage for flora while goldfish slurp at the water's surface. Visitors cross a bridge over the water and continue towards large glass doors leading inside. The building’s interior features uninterrupted sight lines and repeats the exterior’s geometry and incorporation of water features. Following a $7 million capital campaign, the Stuhr Building — dubbed the Gem of the Prairie — was restored in 2014 and 2015, updating mechanical and electrical systems, instalingl climate controls, and returning the interior space to the architect’s original vision for the project.
