This photo was taken in May 2008 at the L&C Natl Historic Interpretive Center. The last time I was in Nebraska City, this wasn't yet built, but when I come to visit, lo and behold, on the top of a hill off Highway 2, overlooking the river, there it is.

The LCNHIC was awesome, they had historical figures and artifacts inside, along with this gorgeous window, a conference center, kids area, and an awesome little gift shop.



Outside there are trails that lead to bird watching areas, decks overlooking the river and surrounding areas near the bluff, and a replica of a Native American mud house that is very cool inside, due to it's basement-like construction.



All in all, this is a great place to go to get a look at the history of the southeast area of Nebraska, and get some gorgeous views of Iowa and the Missouri River, as well as walk a lot of trails and get some photos of plants, insects, and birds.
