This archway spans across I-80 in Kearney NE. The archway itself is a pretty good museum, chronicling the 49er, California, Utah and Mormon Trails movement of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the mid-19th century.While the 49er, California, Utah and Mormon Trails all traveled through Nebraska, little recognition has focused on those who stayed in Nebraska.
