The Potter Sundry in Potter, Nebraska is a small town cafe with an old fashioned soda fountain. It’s a cozy atmosphere to enjoy a good morning breakfast. The Sundry also serves lunch and if you save your appetite be sure to try a Tin Roof Sundae. The Tin Roof Sundae is a layer of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate sauce, then a layer of chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and topped off with peanuts. Open Mondays-Saturdays 7am-5pm, this is a great place to enjoy some good food. I hope everyone will take some time to visit The Potter Sundry and see that it’s a unique place.

Holdrege, Nebraska was established in 1883 after the railroad was built through the town. The town is named after George W. Holdrege, a superintendent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad.
The blacksmith was in yesterday at the Stuhr Museum’s Railroad town. This museum has been one of my favorite Nebraska places since I was a little kid. I enjoy going back and walking through railroad town. Stuhr allows visitors to go back in time to explore the life of pioneers living on the prairie.

The Morgan Store in Ellsworth, Nebraska is your stop for western wear, antiques, hunting guns, etc. I enjoyed stopping by and checking out all the cowboy boots Mr. Morgan had for sale. Whether you are coming for a purpose or passing by; it is worth your time to visit.
Hungry? You can grab a soda and some ice cream to enjoy on a hot summer day. Not only is this a western store, but it is historic as well. The building was where The Nebraska Stock Association began.
