Jon DarveauMarch 20, 2017What would appear to be a gimmicky tourist trap is actually a pretty well done museum that highlights Kearney as the crossroads it has been throughout American history. Worth the stop, seriously!
- Rachel WolfeJuly 10, 2014Awesome interactive museum covering American history from the start of the Oregon trail through modern highways. Well worth a stop!Upvoted Aug 31
Diane McLeodJuly 4, 2013Enjoyed our visit. Very informative and eye pleasing. Found out that Kearney, NE is 1733 miles from Boston and 1733 miles from San Francisco! Cool place that we've driven by and finally stopped.Upvoted 1 week ago
aha moment tourMay 9, 2011The monument serves as a gateway between the past and the present. Once a major trading post on the Oregon Trail, this monument offers a genuine look into Kearney’s frontier culture over the years.
Cheri PApril 10, 2016Awesome - educational visit. Passed many times- so glad we finally did it! Well worth it!
- Tom HesselmanOctober 7, 2016This is a nice respite on a long, boring, truck infested I80 trip. Takes less than an hour and is really nice.
Pretty limited hours. If you started a trip from Chicago, you'd have to leave at 7am to get there before closing.
