Gothenburg Sod House Museum, Nebraska
Last night we stayed in Lincoln, NE. We visited Gothenberg Sod House Museum. It was alot of fun using my imagination and pretending that I actually lived in the sod house. I made (pretend) cookies with the wood stove and the utensils just like Laura Ingalls might have! I learned alot about the prairie pioneer history of Nebraska.
This memorial to the first settlers in the area features a barn, sod house, windmills, and life sized barbed wire sculptures. The barn shaped museum houses memorabilia and photographs taken during the pioneer era. A huge plow graces the front yard of the museum area, representing one of the few tools settlers brought west. Located behind the museum is this sod house that replicates that of pioneer homes.
