Stuhr Museum

Loved our time at the Stuhr Museum. This picture was the only one I took but there were a lot of fun things to look at in the main building. The little town was also very interesting. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I got an experience where the "sentiments" on display held about as much intrinsic worth as my grandma's rocking chair. And yet that chair has seen more dramatic exits from toddlers than this place will ever see from me. Save your spare cash, you'd get more entertainment from watching paint dry, and probably a better souvenir.

Beautiful place. A lot to see. If you are into Nebraska history this is the place. It's got two main buildings which we saw and then there is a whole lot of out buildings that we didn't get to see because of the constant rain. If we get back here we will return

This museum is like going to 5 museums in one. Also, customer service is by far the best I've ever experienced. Diving in, I didn't know what to expect, and as I drove to the front gate, the lovely lady first honored me for being in the Marines, then explained the museum(s). She directed me to the main building, where I ran into Scott. He gave me a run down of the building and the other experiences I was going to have. I'm so glad I didn't eat before I got there as scott directed me to the old Town where I met another fantastic woman who I asked what she recommended and she said the chicken salad sandwich, which was delious and it was cheaper than McDonald's. She told me to visit the buildings and I ran into another young gal who gave me insight to the town and told me to go to the wood working shop, where I met Jeff who gave me a tour of how they did wood working in the 1890s. Next was the machinery ( which I wasn't into until I walked in). Wow, you have to see it to believe it. As you noticed, there were so many places to tour, and I skipped some for you to discover for yourself. I got there at 11:00 am and left at 5:15 pm in total awe of how many experiences you can have in one museum. Be aware there is something for every age here. Plan on at least 2 to 3 hours of fun and adventure.

I so wanted to give this place a better review! I was there about 10 years ago and the place was much better maintained than it is now. In the village were informational signs missing or damaged, buildings locked, and there was just a general look of the village being unkept. The museum was beautiful and very well maintained. So I wonder if most of the money went into that? The farm wasn’t open to the public either, which was another disappointment. You could walk around it, but not go in the buildings. The staff were very kind and I truly enjoyed their hospitality. The hat maker was so sweet and chatted with my mom and I for a while. Dogs are allowed there if on a leash, but not in *any* of the buildings. So keep that in mind when visiting. It is also a good amount of walking, so bring good shoes and water. There are bathrooms in the museum and the village. To enter, the cost wasn’t too bad.
