Trails and Rails Museum
   Wagon trails, then railroads, were vital to the American West. Here, housed in an old Union Pacific depot (relocated to a little park with a vintage church, schoolhouse and hotel), is an interesting museum with several displays. Many of them constantly change so, for most folks, each time you stop in you'll see something new.

(continued from column 1)

  One display, which we were told is permanent, depicts the history of travel: from the wagon trains and prairie schooners, then the evolution of railroad travel culminating in the automobile (all of which were important to folks along the Platte and North Platte Rivers.

The Archway
  Officially, the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument extends over I-80 (you'll see it when you get back on the Interstate). But the best part is inside.
  Chronicled via a dozen inter-active exhibits, the history of the great westward trek is presented in a way that allows you to almost experience for yourself how it was to cross this great prairie in the 19th Century. You even get to witness a buffalo stampede. While this is great for kids, of course, it is also very worth while for adults.  Admission $8.50; kids 6-11 $5. For more info, phone 1-877-511-2724.
