Things to Do in Nebraska: Prairie Roadside Attractions

Nebraska state flag

Nebraska is full of prairie oddities—car Stonehenge, giant porch swings, and a museum spanning an interstate. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
