Agate Fossil Beds National Monument

Top choice in Nebraska

Some 20 million years ago, this part of Nebraska was like the Serengeti in Africa today: a gathering place for a rich variety of creatures. Today the bones of thousands of these ancient mammals are found at this isolated site. Displays and walks detail the amazing – and ongoing – finds. Don't miss the Bone Cabin and the burrowing beaver, plus the Native American exhibits.
