The Original Town Association is a neighborhood organization representing the area north of the railroad corridor and within the city limits of North Platte. The group’s primary purpose is promoting growth and rehabilitation within this important part of North Platte, both in terms of a business center as well as a residential neighborhood.

Along with implementing projects such as street banners to bring identification to the area, creation of a small park and the completion of a Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan; the Original Town Association is proud to host an annual festival to recognize the contributions the Union Pacific Railroad and its employees have made in shaping North Platte, Nebraska into the extraordinary community it is today.
