What a wonderful way to spend a day or two. With the convience of having a motel and a restaurant on the property as well as other businesses within walking distance and a campground. This is a wonderful trip for old and young, families and couples all the way around. Harold Warp the originator of the Museum has collected items from the beginning of Nebraska and has put together different building representing aspects of our state and country's growth. There is one building that is JUST cars, another that is farm equipment and another that is homes across the years (ie 1880's through the present). There is the original land office in their small village set up in the center of the museum. A village that contains a soda fountain, a school house, a small chapel in which during the summer once in a while is rented out for small weddings. There is a log cabin, a store and an old steam engine. There is also one of the few left in the country steam operated merry go-round which still works and you can ride for only a penny or two, the cost of which has never gone up from the time it originated. This is a museum that can be done quickly in one day or you can spend two or three and really learn how America and the mid-west grew. Wonderful learning experience for kids and a great memory trip for adults. It is open all year round closed ONLY on Christmas Day.
