grandiose museum that shows us pictures of what is all around us for real

While driving back from Denver to Omaha, I was tempted to take a picture out my front window while driving by this modern monstrosity. I keep telling my friends that the place will go broke and some old farmer will buy it at an auction and fill it with hay. This is actually a tourist trap build over the interstate at Kearney that tells those that stop the history of Nebraska. The story is told by video and photos. The irony of it all is that, just miles away you can find all the things in the videos. The first transcontinental rail road, a Pony Express stop, Buffalo Bill's Ranch, wagon wheel ruts created in the 1800's by covered wagons, Fort Kearney, I can go on. To bad we couldn't have used some of the millions it took to build this place and actually use the money to preserve the real historic places we have in Nebraska before they are gone.
