Before the move, the station was
located on the Upper 96 Ranch on
the original route. Although the
pony express only lasted 18
months, we ran into several monu
ments along our trip
The Station housed original arti
facts from the bygone days. There
were such relics as medicine
bottles, posters, books, and a mo
chilla the saddle the riders carried
the mail in. The mini-museum was
interesting to browse through and
caught the* attention of a lot of out
of state tourists who had escape1
the interstate for a diversion ot
some sort.
Sitorius said that the blacksmith
shop that was located next to the
station on the ranch is still intact.
She said that it is not open fortours.
1:15 p.m. CST
The Fort
Our next stop was Fort Kearney,
the first stop on the Oregon Trail.
Fort Kearney consists of a stockade
and a museum. The artifacts in the
museum were found by local farm
ers and are still being found today.
One of the guides said that a
caretaker found a 5 cent settlers
token when he was mowing the
grass a couple weeks ago.
All in all, Fort Kearney was an
outline of what existed there in the
past. The fort was reconstructed in
1962. Inside the barrier are posts
marking the layout of the interior of
the fort.
There’s not much to look at in
side the fort, but if you have a good
imagination, you can see the past.
4 p.m. CST
There's No Place Like Home
We pulled into Lincoln hours
earlier than we expected. Ex
hausted, dirty and hungry, wcwent
to our respective homes.
To answer the question that in
spired our journey, Nebraska is not
dull. It’s a diverse state with a di
verse history. At one point you can
see where prehistoric man lived, at
another vou can see the steps the
state is taking into the future. In one
instance, it’s the Great Plains and in
another, it’s where the land meets
the ‘‘ocean."
Now that I’ve been exposed to
the other side of Nebraska, my curi
osity has blossomed Nebraska has
more to offer than people realize.
Take advantage of it, because
there’s no place like home.
