Crawford (Nebraska)

Local hometown museum run by the Crawford Historical Society. Contains a variety of displays and research materials concerning Crawford and the surrounding area.

Built in 1909 and named after the business it was built for – the Crawford Co-operative Company. This cream-colored two-story building next to Crawford's main street was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is still a commercial building.

A must-see if you're into military history. The Red Cloud Agency, an "Indian agency" (government organization set up to interact with Native Americans), was established here in the 1870s, after which the fort was used by the army, more specifically the cavalry. You can visit buildings from this period of time, such as a blacksmith shop, veterinary hospital, officers' quarters, guardhouse, adjutant's office and cemetery. Around the time of the world wars, the U.S. Army Remount Service providing horses to the army was stationed here, and during the WWII it also served as a POW camp. After the war the army left, and a museum was opened on the premises in 1955. Eventually the whole fort and surrounding area became a state park and visitor attraction.

Live theater venue with several showings every week during the summer.

Lots of fossils and bones. If bones and fossils aren't your thing, don't go.

Trails, fishing, jeep rides, and an indoor swimming pool.
