WINSIDE, Neb. -- A village of 400 people likes its heritage with marinara sauce.

The northeast Nebraska community of Winside gathered Sunday to raise funds for the Winside Museum.

After being unable to host its annual spaghetti feed last year due to COVID-19, several volunteers braved the weather to feed the Wayne County village and bring in money for museum.

"For a cold, rainy day, I thought we had a nice turnout," Winside Museum board member Lin Brummels said.

Brummels said funds raised at the event go toward general maintenance of the museum, located in a former church building located just off Main Street in Winside.

According to Winside Museum president Bill Burris, Winside was incorporated in 1890, defeating an already established town named Northside for the plat of land that became the current town. Dr. R.B. Crawford named the town “Winside”, touting that it would “win” over Northside, which it did.
