Hellers are recognized by historical society

Greg and Cee Heller were named the 2019 Historians of the Year by the Ellsworth County Historical Society Sunday during the organization’s 57th annual meeting at the Ellsworth Senior Center.

David Bailey, the great-greatgrandson of Major Henry Inman, the paymaster at Fort Harker, presented an award plaque to the Hellers.

Greg, who was the leading organizer on the recent 150th anniversary celebration of the Forsyth Scouts, was dressed as a first sergeant with Company K, 7th U.S. Cavalry. It’s the uniform he wears during tours and re-enactments at the Fort Harker Guard House Museum, where he is the full-time historian and guide.
