Bringing in the history of Plattsmouth. Mr. Smith pointed out that at the east end of Main street a monument marks the site of the first ferry across the Missouri river in 1848. A few years later a river town grew upon this spot." The history of Plattsmouth is closely linked with the river, and the early business of Platts mouth grew out of river traffic he said. "Because the river boat is symbolic of the beginning of Plattsmouth and Cass county, a replica of the river boat is being used as a background for the Koronation," he said.
