Homestead National Monument of America
History buffs will love the Homestead National Monument of America, which provides an in-depth look at the 1862 Homestead Act that granted more than 270 million acres (about 10 percent of the United States) to pioneers. A heritage center, opened in 2007, has videos and interactive exhibits; you can also see a restored prairie area. In Beatrice (about 40 miles south of Lincoln). (402) 223-3514; nps.gov/home
