fort kearny state historical park印象

There is a lot of interesting information here. I liked the small museum, which took quite a while for us to work our way through. We were there on a day when there were "recreators" there, dressed in period clothing. It was a nice place for our family to spend a little bit of time.

Everyone that volunteers here is very knowledgeable, and is quite happy to help you, if you ask. The museum is dated as are many of the outdoor exhibits, but if you have small children that want to run and you need a place to stop and take a break, it's nice to have the open space. The recreations that they do are just awesome. It is just great to go to on Memorial Day!The campground is wonderful. It's clean, spread out, and has lots of options for fishing, walking, swimming, or just relaxing. Everything is handicap accessible and has paved roadways, and wide sidewalks. I give the museum an 8 and the campground a 10!

We stayed maybe 30 minutes total. The little museum is small, disjointed and I agree, the references to "Red Men" are racist. The museum and the staff did little to help us understand why the Fort was important. I see reading reviews now that there is a movie we could have seen? No staff mentioned this. We were given a confusing map and advised to walk around to see the recreated fort which left us unimpressed. We went on a weekday so maybe this is why the staff members at the museum were not very helpful and there were no reenactors, enthusiastic volunteers or explanations. Then we went over to the campground which looks really pleasant and there are some nice small lakes there, including at least one with an inviting swimming beach. We walked a path to the Platte River. Not too exciting.One good thing--much handicap accessibility.

The facility seems to have been neglected since the 1960s. The buildings are in fine shape, but the interpretation is dated and in need of updating. The staff was pleasant, when you could find them. They seem to be short staff. It is worth stopping if you are near but it pales in comparison to Fort Hartsuff which is not too far away and run by the same state agency.

This was a great historical park to learn about the Westward Migration. Three recreated buildings along with a small museum and excellent film on the history of Fort Kearny. Had a great time!

The park was pretty quiet with not much traffic. It was interesting if you like historical sites. We try to visit places like this along the way when we have the time. They have a video worth watching before you tour the grounds which will only take you about 30 minutes to walk and take any pictures you might want to take.

Whether camping, picnics, fishing, or just out for a nature walk the Fort Kearney State Recreation Area is sure to please. Only downside is you have to purchase at least a day pass. Still worth it.

The fort was built (as many were) to protect early travelers who were part of the westward expansion. There are not many buildings left but the volunteers were knowledgeable.

Compared with other Oregon Trail and pony express landmarks (for example, Rock Creek pony express station) Fort Kearney is particularly disappointing. The only reconstructed building is a blacksmith shop. The museum is small, a bit disjointed, and doesn't begin to compare with others I seen while following the Oregon Trail from Independence Missouri to Portland Oregon. If you are pressed for time, I recommend skipping it. However if you like history, or museums, you must, I repeat MUST spend some time in Minden Nebraska just 20 minutes south of here at the Pioneer Village Museum -- it is at once breathtaking and mind-boggling.

This year (2013) they began charging $2 to enter the museum. It is a good museum, but I didn't think it was worth paying for if we'd already been there.
