Featured Attractions
Harold Warp's Pioneer Village
Minden, Nebraska
More than 50,000 items in 28+ buildings. Where else can you see a piece of the tin foil used on Edison's first phonograph, and a monkey wrench exhibit?
Strategic Air and Space Museum
Ashland, Nebraska
The former Strategic Air Command Museum has replaced bombs and white-knuckle brinksmanship with a kinder, gentler world of aircraft gazing.
Birthplace of Kool-Aid
Hastings, Nebraska
Visit the town where the magic powder was invented and stand in the mighty footprints of Kool-Aid Man.
