Unique And Exciting Spots To Tour In Nebraska
Unique and Fascinating Spots to tour in Nebraska
Nebraska provides many great things to vacationers, from great food and exhibits in Omaha and Lincoln, to hiking the trails along Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park . Whatever you want to do, you are likely to find it on your Nebraska Vacation.
If you keep an eye out, you will also see some very different sights, strange things that you never new existed throughout various Nebraska tourism regions. Of course, when you see these things, you will likely be compelled to stop and see what all the fuss is.
One of the unique and very interesting things you will find on your journey through Nebraska is Carhenge. It is an astonishing example of the surreal!
As the title suggests, this is a replica of one Stonehenge, one of the most mysterious sites in the world. The only change is that instead of monolithic boulders of rock, this structure is made completely from the bodies of old automobiles.
Carhenge is not the only sculpture in the meca, of course. The Spawning Salmon, created by Sandhurst shows a giant fish rising from the earth. Dino, is a sculpture of a historic dinosaur that looks strikingly like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Fourd Seasons is a sculpture that is very unqiue to the state – it shows the four stages of the wheat that is harvested in the area. The Carnestoga is a station wagon that is scuplted to resemble a Conestoga wagon from times past – it even has wagon wheels and “horses” hitched to the front!
Carhenge is open year round, and the best visiting hours are during the day. Admission to the park is completely free, but they willingly accept donations. These donations are used for the maintenance and upkeep of the area.
So enjoy your tour through Nebraska - you will be glad that you found it!
