Ogallala, Nebraska - Petrified Wood Exhibit

When I passed through Ogallala in 2000, The Kenfield exhibit of petrified wood had moved out of the house, and into a museum in a strip mall area just north of I-80. I think admission was $3, with a discount for students. [Damian B., 10/19/2004]

[RA: Twin brothers Howard and Harvey Kenfield spent 50 years picking up arrowheads, petrified wood, fossils, and rocks that they found lying around Ogallala -- and turning it into art!]

Ogallala, Nebraska - Petrified Wood Exhibit

The Kenfield exhibit of petrified wood just south of Ogallala (turn west by the alien water tower) is definitely worth a visit. The Kenfield brothers have a beautifully landscaped yard that leads up to their "museum." In it there are pictures they make from pieces of petrified wood and a great collection of agates.

Ogallala, Nebraska - Petrified Wood Exhibit

There is a man, Kenfield, who does sculptures out of petrified wood. They are wonderful! We bought two of them. This was in 1994 or 1995. He had been written up in the Smithsonian or National Geographic. Sounds like it might be something you would like to show. [Elise H., 10/09/1997]
