Reviews of Lincoln County Historical Museum (Museum)

Jessica N Dennis

Great Chicken Fried Steak. Red Mashed Potatoes were extremely bland. Bread is two types, knotted together. Definitely get the appetizer sampler. Nothing interesting on the dessert menu worth ordering. Try adding a fudge cake or something similar. Freezing atmosphere. Bring a jacket and a blanket. Buckets of peanuts on every table yet I don't remember seeing a sing on the way in, warning allergy sufferers.

Rebecca Griebel

Debra Luce

Very educational and enjoyable. So much information. Lots to see.Reasonably priced. Not from Nebraska so I wasnt familiar with The North Platte Canteen. Great time with my family.

Liz McCown

Well organized and very interesting!

Jennie Bennett

Are you kidding me? This place is beyond amazing. Give yourself a few hours and take your time. I sped through it in 1.5 hours....and would have liked more time, but they were closing. Bring comfy shoes as you will be outside to view the old buildings. (Which by the way are so amazing) a must visit while in the area....I enjoyed it so much.

Bethine Wetzel

The history aspect is fantastic. Be sure to watch the video on the world war two canteen. You will cry!

This museum was better than I expected. I didn't know a lot about it before going so I assumed it was a small building with local memorabilia. The building itself houses some great antiques, information about the Canteen, war memorabilia, etc. Out back there are many buildings, including a church, some houses of famous families, buildings from Fort McPherson, and machine sheds. The only thing I was disappointed in were some unprofessional-looking signs and grammatical/spelling errors.

While following the NE passport we stopped in and toured the museum. We were pleasantly surprised at not only the vast history of North Platte, but how well curated each section of the museum was!

David Collins

A wonderful, local museum. The story of the North Platte Canteen during WWII was an experience I am so glad to have learned about. Buy the book, by Bob Green "Once Upon A Town." You will cry, be in awe, and so proud of those people who gave their all. I watched the whole video and cam not understand why it is not available for sale!

Scott Berg

Such a diverse display of the Great Old west memorabilia and the needs to survive this era. Also a smaller yet interesting WWII area. Ice local museum.

Jeffrey Birkel

Great way to learn about the history of the area. The exhibit on the North Platte Canteen during World War II is worth a visit by itself. There are so many things on display with very informative descriptions. There is also an outdoor, recreation of a small town depicting life in the late 1800's. Definitely wirth a stop if you are visiting the area.

Home of the North Platte Depot and Canteen now, or at least what they could save, plus great historical facts and structures from Lincoln County.

Frances Brown

Great multiple building history museum, a special exhibit on the outreach of this community to provide over a million meals to troops travel across country.

reece foust

Great place good job on restoration on the buildings

Dalene Ferguson

So much information! Well set up.

Cindy Walker

Very nice local museum with friendly volunteers. Tells the stories of settling Nebraska, the North Platte Canteen, and has a town in the back of the museum. Very reasonably priced, $6 adults, $5 seniors, and a $1 off coupon is available at the Golden Spike Tower. Spent a couple of hours there. Would recommend.

Marie Price

Impressive displays. Help there was great too.

Eric Rudberg

Stopped to learn more about the canteen the residents of North Platte and the local communities ran during World War II. Such a shame the actual canteen was torn down but this museum does a great job explaining it. The rest of the museum and the buildings that were brought in were also interesting.

Angela Eagle

Excellent self-tour takes you all the way through historical buildings, set up like a town. Gorgeous & fairly well preserved. No air conditioning, but if the days are cool enough, you don't even notice. It was over 85 degrees and the buildings were quite pleasant to tour in the late afternoon. The inside museum has a.c., and the info on the North Platte Canteen is worth the trip alone. Plus, they had a special admission deal for 3 museums in town. $10 adults for all three was a great deal for our family!

Mary Ellingson

Wonderful information.

Jeremy Johnson

Neat place.

Crystal Klein

Neat pioneer village.
