What 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 Wolfe

Awesome interactive museum covering American history from the start of the Oregon trail through modern highways. Well worth a stop!

Diane McLeod

Enjoyed 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.

The 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.

Awesome - educational visit. Passed many times- so glad we finally did it! Well worth it!

Great exhibits and smart as the whole tour only takes an hour.

Patricia Fine

Try the maze. It is harder than it looks.

Tom Hesselman

This 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.

Find a shady spot to park if you have your dog with you.... No pets allowed!

Interesting side trip

Dustin Boyd

Everyone needs to see it once but not sure it's a return trip...

Sara Brand

Don't miss the powwow June 18 and 19. Amazingly powerful to witness.

Incredible interactive history museum !

Jan Hobbs

Not worth the price-and speakers too loud to hear headset over it.
