EDUCATOR RESOURCES

Educator Resources

Make a visit to the Antelope County Museum part of your school curriculum. The museum’s school program can be tailored to your class’s educational needs and is especially beneficial for students studying early Nebraska History. Besides the main museum building, we also have the one-room school house, pioneer log cabin, and St Peter’s Episcopal Church.

The museum complex has a small park area that is an excellent place to have a sack lunch or picnic.
