Welcome to Stuhr Museum!

Open year-round, the stately Stuhr Building was designed by the late, world-renowned architect Edward Durell Stone. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Geographic Society building in Washington, D.C. are among Stone's many distinguished architectural accomplishments. The building is fully surrounded by a water-filled moat complete with fish and a splendid walkway to this impressive main structure of the museum.

Exhibits in the Stuhr Building introduce visitors to the history and development of the region and prepare them for what they will see, hear, and experience touring the outdoor museum. The Stuhr Building's many indoor exhibits of period rooms, tools, household articles and furnishings introduce visitors to Nebraska's history from 1860 to 1920.

The museum's attractive main building houses the Prairie Treasures Gift Shop, permanent galleries, and seasonal exhibits on a year round basis. The marble main floor and the twin spiral staircases and four fountains enable you to tour in a peaceful environment. Prairie Treasures carries a wide assortment of unique gift items and a substantial selection of books on Great Plains history and people.

There is never a charge just to come out and shop at the Mercantile or Prairie Treasures!
