Platte River Scenic Trails
Lincoln County Historical Museum, NE

The history of Lincoln County, located in North Platte, is documented and displayed at the Lincoln County Historical Museum. In the museum there are period room settings, quilts, fashions, furniture, a post office, beauty shop, model railroad, and many other photographs and displays. One of the more well known is the display of the WWII Canteen. The Canteen was made up of volunteers that met U.S. Military trains with food, treats, and hospitality. Also housed at the Lincoln County Historical Museum is a prairie village. Structures such as a two story log home, a turn-of-the-century town home, church, school, library, and many other period buildings have been restored and furnished to show what life in early Lincoln County and Nebraska was like.
