Our Collections

Explore thousands of years’ worth of words, images, and objects from the High Plains.

 

Legacy of the Plain Museum houses one of the region’s most significant collections of artifacts and archival resources.

Our collection includes thousands of items, covering more than 2,000 years of human life in the North Platte Valley. We have many valuable, one-of-a-kind resources that shed light on westward migration, regional settlement, cultivation patterns, technological evolution, climate trends, and more.

Historians, agronomists, scientists and other scholars rely on our resources for research and reference. Use these links to get an overview of our holdings.
