Tribune, the county seat of Greeley County [GL], is a complete, self sufficient community and the main shopping area and health center for the county.  To the north of town White Woman Creek cuts a valley into the normally level terrain. 

In downtown Tribune visitors should be sure to see the unique and beautiful library. Go around the corner a block to see a modern courthouse next to the old (1890) courthouse which now houses the Horace Greeley Museum.

Horace Greeley (1811-1872) was publisher of the New York Tribune and fought for Kansas' entry into the Union as a free state.  He was also famous for his boosterism of the West: "Go west young man."
