Nebraska provides many great things to visitors, from great food and attractions in Omaha and Lincoln, to traveling the trails along Agate Fossil Beds National Monument . Whatever you want to do, you are likely to find it on your Nebraska Vacation.
If you keep a sharp eye out, you will also see some very interesting sights, unusual things that you never new existed throughout various Nebraska tourism regions. Of course, when you find these things, you will likely be compelled to stop and see what all the fuss is.
One of the strangest and more interesting things you will discover on your travel through Nebraska is Carhenge. It is of the surreal!
As the name implies, this is a model of one Stonehenge, one of the most fabled sites in the world. The only difference is that instead of monolithic boulders of rock, this structure is made completely from the hulks of old automobiles.
Carhenge is not the only sculpture in the area, of course. The Spawning Salmon, created by aclaimed artist Geoff Sandhurst shows a giant fish rising from the ground. Dino, is a sculpture of a large dinosaur that looks amazeingly like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Fourd Seasons is a sculpture that is very specific to the state – it shows the four stages of the wheat that is harvested in the area. The Carnestoga is a station wagon that is scuplted to resemble a Conestoga wagon from times past – it even has wagon wheels and “horses” hitched to the front!
Carhenge is open all year, and the preferred visiting hours are during the day. Admission to the park is absolutely free, but they willingly accept donations. These donations are used for the maintenance and upkeep of the area.
So enjoy your trek through Nebraska - you will be happy that you discovered it!
