Great Platte River-Road Archway July 20, 2011


Every time we drive to Kearney for Zone Conference or training
we drive under this wonderful museum
that passes over route 80.
We finally took the time to visit
and loved it.


It is self guided, using earphones and 
as you walk across the archway you travel through Nebraska history,


including the Mormon Pioneer period.


A beautiful mural of the state's history finishes the tour.
This is the little slice of history we are so proud of
and feel so connected to, here in the mission.
These were wonderful men and women, 
who set a pattern of sacrifice and faith.

That's so cool. I've always wondered what was in there every time we have driven under that archway.
