The Gathering Place, built in 1893, served as home to the First Baptist Church of Sidney for 70 years. The church was gifted to the Fremont County Historical Society in 1966 and was restored and remodeled in 2001. In 2006 it opened as “The Gathering Place”, Fremont County’s Educational and Performing Arts Center. Educational programs and performing art productions are hosted there by the Historical Society. The Gathering Place is also available on a rental basis for use by individuals and organizations.
