overview
|
Nebraska, in the heartland of the American continent, is a place of
wide, endless expanses that appear to stretch to the furthest reaches of
the earth. The state's major cities are concentrated in the southeastern
part of the state, and most of them have industries that are connected
to agriculture. Lincoln, the capital, is a small, pleasant city, home to
the art-deco capitol building and the nationally renowned University of
Nebraska, where Willa Cather once studied literary traditions. Omaha,
the largest city, is a friendly and welcoming Midwestern town built
along the shores of the Missouri River. Attractions in Omaha include
Henry Doorly Zoo, the impressive Joslyn Art Museum, and Father
Flanagan's Boys Town. Further north, the Omaha Indian Reservation is
believed to be the birthplace of the powwow.

Travelers to this part of the nation need to go farther west to truly
appreciate Nebraska's wondrous appeal. The sparsely populated western
side of the state has probably changed little since it was settled
around the mid-19th century, when German and other European farmers
arrived and populated the plains. Those early pioneers--the ones Willa
Cather described so eloquently in her novels--left an indelible mark on
the famed Oregon Trail, which now runs along US 26. While driving on the
Oregon Trail, visitors can view a number of sights that recall the early
American experience, including Chimney Rock, Scotts Bluff National
Monument, and Rebecca Winter's grave.
Nebraska is also a place where nature still holds man at bay with her
powerful might. Bitterly cold winters and a relatively harsh climate
have kept the population levels low for decades, therefore sparing the
state some of the uncontrolled development that plagues American regions
with more favorable weather conditions. Nebraska's natural attractions
include three national forests, three wildlife refuges, scenic byways,
and the soulful, endless prairie fields that inspired the immortal
American author Willa Cather.Golf & Course :
