Visits to the Nebraska Prairie Museum always makes me feel heartened about this wonderful country whenever I find myself worrying about our society, which I do as our culture changes so quickly. The museum tells a story of work, hardship, community, and prosperity. It isn't just a collection of old things put on display, the artifacts, from machinery to tableware, tells the story of the people who settled the plains throughout its history. The collections are made up almost entirely of donated items from Nebraskan families that make up its history - and what a collection of incredible, interesting items are found here! I'm always impressed with their presentation - there's been a lot of money and time devoted to making of this museum, the exhibits are extravangant and rich in variety. There's so much to see, so allow yourself plenty of time. The back wing of the main building is designed in a Main Street Town Square design, with exhibits for a Post Office, Pharmacy, etc. The WW II wing of the museum with the POW Camp Atlanta exhibit on how German soldiers were kept in the area during the war is especially interesting to us. The museum suggests a donation of $5 for adults, $2 for children. Also, there are several out buildings that are part of the museum presentation - a completely furnished prairie house, a country school, and a Lutheran church.
