I've been through Nebraska City plenty of times over decades but never visited the Arbor Lodge…read moreuntil today. Was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the short drive down from Bellevue. Parking was easy to find close to the lodge. The lady who ran the ticket stand gave us a great history of the lodge and told us about several rooms we might have overlooked otherwise. The rooms all had interesting items in them, all well documented. We especially enjoyed the room with the print press equipment, the room with mannequins wearing vintage dresses (from the waistlines, the ladies wearing them had to be using industrial strength corsets), and the bowling alley in the basement. We walked over to the carriage house and stables, then took a short walk through the grounds. We're glad we took the time to visit.

The staff is friendly and well informed and the museum (though small) offers some informative and interesting exhibits. All ages will learn about the Underground Railroad, slavery, Harper's Ferry, and Nebraska City history. The cabin has been moved from its original site because of road development but the cave was recreated on the new site and you can walk inside. Don't forget to visit the church after you view the cabin!

There really isn't much along Nebraska Route 2 so when the sign for a historical marker appeared, I…read moretook advantage of the opportunity to stop. This is maybe 90 minutes east of Lincoln and about 90 minutes north of Topeka. Definitely not a busy spot. This marker is on a road that crosses the highway, but it is gravel. The marker is in good condition and easy to spot and easy to view. Other than the occasional vehicle on Route 2, there is absolutely no noise here. The marker reads, "The Atlas-F ICBM (operational 1961-65) was an important component of national defense during the Cold War. Twelve Atlas sites, one located half a mile west, were manned by the 551st Strategic Missile Squadron, Lincoln Air Force Base. On November 22, 1964, a crew from this site died in a plane crash a mile south of here. The victims were Maj. Lee Craft, 1st Lt. Chester Higgenbotham, S/Sgt. Harold Hrenchir, A/1C Donald Moore, A/2C David Theriot, and pilot Maj. Robert Wilson." [Review 11397 overall, 1174 of 2019.]

Whether you're stopping in for their incredible apple cider doughnuts and cookies, picking fresh apples, enjoying a glass of wine, or just soaking in the beauty of the orchard, there's something here for everyone. Kimmel is also a fantastic place to host events -- the Kimmel Education & Research Center and the outdoor pavilion provide unique, welcoming spaces surrounded by nature. And if you're bringing kids (or just young at heart), don't miss the Pollinator Playground or the Certified Pollinator Habitat -- both are creative, educational, and fun spots to explore. Kimmel is truly a gem in Southeast Nebraska -- full of charm, great people, and meaningful connections to the land and community. Definitely worth a visit (or many)!
