About Nebraska
Nebraska is also known as the Cornhusker State, after a nickname given to the University of Nebraska athletics team. The term 'cornhuskers' comes from the method of harvesting corn by hand, which was common in Nebraska before the invention of husking machinery.
The state capital of Nebraska is Lincoln.

Nebraska Attractions
Most of Nebraska's main attractions are in the Platte river valley, and mark the pioneers' westward route along the Oregon and Mormon trails, as well as the Pony Express and Union Pacific Railroad.
Chimney Rock
Designated the Chimney Rock National Historic Site, the 45 metre Chimney Rock sandstone spire, near Bayard, was an important landmark for early settlers travelling west across Nebraska on the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails; a true symbol of the great western migration.
Fort Robinson
From Crazy Horse to the cavalry to the K-9 Corps, Crawford's Fort Robinson played host to them all. Experience the long and varied history of this outpost on the Plains at the Fort Robinson Military Museum.
Lake McConaughy
Although most of Nebraska is used for agriculture you can always hit the beach at Lake McConaughy, near Ogallala. The 100 miles of sandy white beaches attracts windsurfers and trout fisher folk.
Listed on the Top 100 Family Places to Fish and Boat in the United States, Lake McConaughy is Nebraska's biggest lake and the largest reservoir in a three state region.
Pioneer Village
Testament to 150 years of American change, the Harold Warp Pioneer Village complex in Minden is comprised of 28 buildings on 20 acres housing over 50,000 irreplaceable items of historical value; restored to operating order and arranged in the chronological order of their development.
Historic buildings, a Frontier Fort, Pony Express Station, Iron Horse, and a home made of sod are some of the items to discover.
Pony Express Station
Of the few Pony Express Stations remaining in existence, two are located in Gothenburg. The Pony Express Station in Gothenburg's Ehmen Park is a main attraction for tourists.
Omaha
The largest city in Nebraska is named after the Omaha people. The community developed as a supplies depot for overland wagon trains heading west, and prospered even more when it became a terminus on the Union Pacific Railroad.
Mormon migrants sheltered in Omaha during the winter of 1846-1847.
A stop on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, Omaha is known for its pioneer history, museums and cultural centers.
Oregon Trail
Scotts Bluff National Monument, near Gering, and Fort Kearny State Historical Park, near Kearney are both important landmarks in the Nebraska part of the Oregon National Historic Trail.
