There is something eerie and humbling to be said about walking down the uneven dirt roads and empty landmarks of Idaho’s numerous ghost towns. A mere century ago, the lure of gold, precious ore, and the hope of a new life brought thousands of people to the Gem State, but after the dust had settled, Idaho’s mining towns went from thriving communities to hollow remnants. Yet, even today, their history is still as present as ever....

One of the best qualities Nebraskans possess is our willingness to help one another. It was an absolute necessity in the state’s early days when settlers realized that a huge portion of the state, now known as the Sandhills, was incapable of supporting crops.

That legacy is on display at the Sandhills Heritage Museum, a place that strives to keep alive the spirit and history of this unique area....

Next time your sweet tooth kicks in, pop on over to Piccola Gelateria, one of the best gelato shops in the Crescent City....
