About Us
The Wheat Growers Hotel was constructed in 1918 by F. Cunningham and was considered the “most glamorous Hotel between Omaha and Denver”. Dwight and Mami Eisenhower (with son Doug and Mami’s parents) stayed at the Hotel in 1919. With 86 rooms, a restaurant and a Ballroom, the Hotel became the hub for railroad travelers and locals alike.The Wheat Growers Hotel is one of the most visible indicators of community pride, along with Kimball's economic and social health. The Hotel is either an asset or a liability in the effort to recruit new residents, new businesses and industries, retirees, tourists and others to our community and to keep those we already have. The Wheat Growers Hotel "project" encourages forward-thinking economic development in a historic preservation context so this comunity's assets and legacy can be passed on to future generations. Because this revitalization entails the participation or so many people and entities in the community, a wide range of people also benefit.
