Nebraska holds many little surprises, and people are often amazed by what they find here. Your experience will vary as much as the weather.

One pioneer described this rock as “towering to the heavens” and is the most recognized landmark along the Oregon Trail.
Kids and adults will enjoy visiting Ash Fall State Historical Park, near Orchard. You’ll find hundreds of complete fossils of prehistoric animals when they were covered by volcanic ash from an eruption 10 million years ago. Then visit Agate where the landscape surrounds fossil beds dating back millions of years. Many paleontologists agree that Agate is one of the best preserved Miocene mammal sites in the world.

Enjoy the oldest 18-hole golf course, and outdoor amphitheater, or just watch native bison, elk, and whitetail deer.

Drive along many of Nebraska’s scenic highways, and enjoy the beautiful vistas. In Ashland, the Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari will amaze you with its North American animal life.

See the romantic style homes and make time to explore the surrounding wooded area via hiking or biking.
