In
1957
Ak-Sar-Ben
began
presenting
the
Pioneer
Farm
Family
Award.
In
order
to
qualify
for
this
distinction,
a
parcel
of
land
must
have
been
owned
consecutively
by
members
of
the
same
family
for
at
least
100
years.
For
several
years
the
awards
were
presented
at
Ak-Sar-Ben
in
Omaha.
Later
this
was
changed
and
the
awards
are
presented
by
the
Knights
of
Ak-Sar-Ben
and
the
Nebraska
association
of
Fair
Managers.
Between
1957
and
2002,
over
6,000
families
have
received
this
award
in
Nebraska.
Each
honoree
receives
an
engraved
plaque
and
gatepost
marker
as
permanent
recognition
of
this
milestone.
The
awards
are
presented
during
the
annual
county
fair
in
which
the
land
is
located.

in
the
Denton
