Still in Nebraska, going to Nebraska City

Victorian Acres RV Park Nebraska City, NE

Here’s one more tidbit of Nebraska trivia…..In Kearny, Nebraska, there is”The Archway” crossing the Interstate where you can get off, take a break and tour a museum that presents 170 years of history in under an hour. Starting in the 1840’s at Fort Kearny where over 400,000 Americans & immigrants converged on the Oregon, Mormon & California trails before heading west to the frontier. The Transcontinental Railroad, Pony Express & first transcontinental telegraph line also followed the Great Platte River as well as the Lincoln Highway, the first pieces of the Interstate Highway system and the first transcontinental fiber optic superhighway.

Have a good one everybody, we’re sure trying to.


RV Riding is learning about all kinds of stuff (too bad I can’t remember it all)
