Liz Zikmund helped further Czech culture and heritage through her artwork and much of it can be seen in Wilber and the state as many
of her designs were adopted by the Nebraska Czechs of Wilber. One of her most famous drawings is of the ‘Dancing Couple,’ which is now the property of the Nebraska Czechs of Wilber.
