Chadron

The Pine Ridge escarpment defines the setting of Chadron — pine-covered hills meet the open Nebraska Panhandle, shaping a town where prairie roads soon lead into wooded country. Chadron is the seat of Dawes County and home to Chadron State College, giving this small regional centre a distinct college-town presence. Chadron State Park lies in the surrounding Pine Ridge and was Nebraska’s first state park. Just east of town, the Museum of the Fur Trade occupies the site of the 1837 Bordeaux trading post, recalling the commerce that once crossed these plains.
