This unique formation--the most noted on the Oregon Trail--has come to symbolize the greatest voluntary migration in the history of mankind.


Homestead National Monument of America
The Homestead Act of 1862 was one of the most significant events in the westward expansion of the United States. By granting 160 acres of free land to claimants, it allowed nearly any man or woman a chance to live the American dream.


Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail
Most of the 3700 mile trail follows the Missouri & Columbia Rivers. Much has changed in 200 years but trail portions remain intact. Lewis & Clark traveled over a three-year period through lands that later became 11 states. It begins at Hartford, IL & passes through portions of MO, KS, IA, NE, SD, ND, MT, ID, OR, & WA.


Missouri National Recreational River
America's longest river, the "Big Muddy" is steeped in stories about American Indians, Lewis and Clark, fur traders, and steamboat captains. Missouri NRR also offers such activities as boating, fishing, canoeing, camping, birdwatching, and touring of historic sites.


Niobrara National Scenic River
The Scenic River preserves a superb example of a Great Plains river and protects a unique ecological crossroads where six distinct ecosystems and their associated flora and fauna mix. Many locally-owned ranches are found along the river retaining the valley's rural flavor, yet much of its wild character is preserved.
