Greensburg To Hold Ground Breaking For The Big Well

KSCB News - September 19, 2011 8:03 am

Four years after it was destroyed by a
tornado, construction for a bigger and better Big Well Museum will
begin in Greensburg.
A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Monday morning.
Greensburg officials hope to have the new museum open by May 2012.
The Dodge City Daily Globe reports that
Greensburg city officials set aside $3 million for the project.
The new museum will include exhibits on Greensburg’s history,
including the digging of the Big Well, the May 4, 2007 tornado that
destroyed the museum and most of Greensburg, and rebuilding the
town.
Before the tornado, tourists often stopped in Greensburg to see
a well that is among the world’s largest hand-dug wells.
