 Help Aiden Keckeinsen

Little Aiden Keckeisen was born with a heart condition known as atrioventricular septal defect. He had a difficult time gaining weight, and he struggled to breathe due to excess blood flow to his lungs.

At just 4 months old, Aiden underwent surgery to correct the defect. He received a unit of red blood cells and platelets during the procedure.

“When we heard Aiden would need blood products, it made it very apparent that I (and my husband) needed to get back to donating again,” said Aiden’s mother, Ranae. “I am forever grateful to the donors who gave the blood and platelets used for Aiden and pray that the blood we donated has a similar life-saving use or story. I would encourage anyone to look at Aiden's sweet face and consider taking 30 minutes out of their day to go donate blood.”

Make your appointment now to donate your life-saving gift at the

Elmwood Murdock High School Blood Drive on Thursday, April 4th from 1 PM – 7 PM.

Highway 63 UPDATE

The first phase of the project from I-80 to Church road was completed in 2017. This opened Church road east-west and connected it to I80.

Last year, 2018, was supposed to be culverts, grading and paving from South of Church road to Alvo.
The weather put the culvert work, grading work and utility relocation work behind schedule. By the time we had the subgrade stabilized and embankments constructed it was too cold to pave.

We will go to work on subgrade reconstruction and foundation placement once the frost is out of the ground and we get some drying weather.
Paving should go fast and we hope to be paved out by July.

I know it is frustrating but grading work is very susceptible to delays with wet weather and last year had a lot of rain.

It is with the hope that we can open in July.
Please encourage anyone interested to call the district office for updates.

Our project manager is Jesse DeLosSantos.
Our Construction Engineer is Curt Mueting.

 Bess Streeter Aldrich House & Museum

It's an exciting day at the Bess Streeter Aldrich House. Registered piano technician Morgan Cowell is tuning our 1870 square grand piano.

Instead of being just decorative, the piano will become an integral part of many of our upcoming events. 

 We thank Don Skalak of Elmwood for funding this project in honor of his wife Mary.

Cass County Board Approves Anhydrous Ammonia Facility

The Cass County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday gave its unanimous approval for a facility near Elmwood that will store and distribute anhydrous ammonia for farmers, though it was not popular by everyone attending the meeting.

This site will be north of Elmwood two miles on the west side of Highway 1 on Fletcher road.  

The facility will replace outdated facilities within the town's boundaries of Elmwood, Murdock, and Manley.
