Kearney

Kearney is best known within Nebraska for the Great Platte River Road Archway, the landmark spanning Interstate 80. The city stands in the Platte River valley, a central stop on the historic corridor followed by emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon trails. The Archway interprets that overland story with exhibits above one of America’s principal east–west highways. Each spring, the nearby Platte River draws vast gatherings of sandhill cranes during their migration, making the surrounding valley internationally recognized for the spectacle. Kearney is also home to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, giving this regional center a campus presence alongside its trail heritage.
