For 6 weeks, late February to early April, something magical happens in the heart of
Nebraska. More than 80 percent of the world’s population of Sandhill Cranes
converges on Nebraska’s Platte River. The Sandhill Cranes travel from
southern wintering grounds to northern breeding grounds in Canada,
Alaska and Siberia. They stop along the Platte to rest and gain body fat
for a month as they prepare for their journey. Fossils of
wing bones dating back nine million years have
been discovered in Nebraska. Whooping Cranes,
eagles, ducks & geese, and shorebirds are
among the other wildlife that migrates
through Central Nebraska during February
and March. It’s an amazing sight and one
that can only be truly appreciated in person.
Call 800-652-9435 for an annual crane
packet. The easiest way to set up your crane
viewing experience is to contact the Audubon’s Rowe
Sanctuary or visit the Fort Kearny Recreational Area
Hike/Bike Bridge at either sunrise or sunset. The bridge is 300 yards from the
parking area and offers a great view of the river.
The Nebraska Firefighters Museum and
Education Center is designed to provide a
place to safeguard and preserve Nebraska’s
proud firefighting heritage and to educate
individuals about fire prevention. The
museum is located at 2434 East 1st Street.
