Prairie Lakes Region
In 1820, Stephen Long, explorer and military man, called this country the Great American Desert. Today, he’d be shocked to discover dozens of man-made lakes and huge reservoirs complementing the grassy plains of the region. Nowhere is the relationship of man and the land more poignantly realized than Nebraska’s Prairie Lakes Country. This relationship becomes even more evident in the excellent museums, historic homes and memorable personalities of the area such as Willa Cather and Senator George Norris. It’s a country rich in history and personality that you’ll enjoy getting to know and returning to year after year.
