Nebraska City, NE

Nebraska City is a city in Otoe County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 7,228 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Otoe County. Nebraska City is home of Arbor Day, the Missouri River Basin Lewis and Clark Center (which focuses on the natural history achievements of the expedition), and the Mayhew Cabin, which is Nebraska's only site on the National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program.

Early exploration was reported in 1804 by Lewis and Clark as they journeyed across the west discovering the beautiful Missouri River. Nebraska City was the original site of Old Fort Kearny, a military post used by the government in 1846. It was abandoned several years later and relocated to central Nebraska, now south of present day Kearney, Nebraska.

In the mid 1800's, steamboats were the vitalizing force behind Nebraska City's growth in bringing commerce, people and freight to the west. In the spring of 1858 Russell, Majors and Waddell started freighting from Nebraska City on a government contract to transport all provisions for all western forts. The supplies were brought up the Missouri River by steamboat and then taken out by wagon train. Nebraska City's favorable position and good trail made it an important link to the west.

The River Country Nature Museum is a unique collection of wildlife representing the lifelong work of Joe Voges and his Naturecraft Taxidermy Studio, which began in the early 1930s. Displays include birds and animals that inhabit this area.
