Discover Northwest Nebraska

Northwest Nebraska has always been one of my favorite areas of the state since I was a child. I grew up traveling to family reunions at Fort Robinson and visiting family on my dad’s side around Alliance. While most individuals think Disney World is the happiest place on earth, I believe Fort Robinson is the happiest place for me. The beautiful scenery, the landscape, the history and the people are something everyone should discover at some point in their life. I will guarantee you, once you visit you will want to keep going back each year, if not twice a year. There are so many words to describe Northwest Nebraska. You may be able to get an idea of what it’s about from a photo, however seeing it in person is a thousand times better.

Discover Northwest Nebraska launched a new website. I encourage individuals to learn more information and make plans to visit the area.

Meadville Store and Park

One of my favorite stops on the Nebraska Passport this summer is the Meadville Store and Park. Located 18 miles north of Ainsworth, the store and park are in a beautiful area next to the Niobrara River.

The store was built in 1910 and also served as the town’s post office and is now a bar and grill. The food is great, I enjoyed a tasty cheeseburger and some fries. The owners were so friendly and shared their knowledge of the area with me as I ate.

Meadville hosts a Polar Plunge in the winter, 4th of July Celebration and an OctoberFest celebration. This year the OctoberFest is October 3rd. You will also enjoy bringing some friends and gathering in Meadville to watch some football on Saturdays in the fall.

I hope others will join me as I make another trip to Meadville this fall for their OctoberFest. Check them out on Facebook and stay up to date on what is happening in Meadville.

Kimball Bakery

At some small town bakeries, you walk in get your donut and leave. The Kimball Bakery in Kimball, Nebraska is different. They have tables, inviting their guest to sit, stay, enjoy your donut for a while. I really enjoyed this idea, then I didn’t have to worry about making a mess while trying to eat my donut in the car.
The Kimball Bakery opened in 1941 and is currently owned by Kimball native, Bob Hinton. The day starts early with donuts being made at 2am. All donuts are made from scratch which made them taste much better than other bakeries.
Not only does the bakery make donuts, they also make fresh hamburger and hot dog buns as well. The day before 4th of July, owner Bon Hinton said he made about 1,400 fresh buns. I was able to enjoy the fresh taste of one and I recommend eating them with a sloppy joe.
Make sure and stop by the Kimball Bakery when you are traveling in Western Nebraska. I can’t wait to go back and have another zombie donut.

Kinkaider; A Brewery in the Sandhills

I visited the Kinkaider Brewing Co. in Broken Bow a few weeks ago. If you drive through town trying to find it, you will have no luck. You must go about a mile northwest out of town to find it on a gravel road.

Kinkaider was founded by four Nebraska boys; born and raised. Settled by their parents, grandparents and great grandparents, the land itself is rich in history as well.

If you have the time, I recommend staying a while and trying each kind of beer. My favorite beer I tried was the Sod House Brown Ale. I am not a beer expert, but I enjoy trying new beers when I can. This brewery is a great edition to the sandhills and I am excited to go back and enjoy some live entertainment and music on their deck.
