Museum of the High Plains

IMG_7218

  Exhibits on the early history of McCall, Nebraska and displays of donated collections makes this a typical small town museum but it has one unusual exhibit. A WWII prisoner of war camp for captured German soldiers was located about 10 miles out of town. The buildings were torn down or sold off at the end of the war but someone saved pictures of camp activities and dreams of home that a prisoner had painted on the walls. They are now nicely framed and hanging in the museum.

   The museum is accessible with a lift to access the balcony exhibits.

    RVs can be parked on the street by the 1907 Carnegie Library which houses archival material.   Museum  40.20159, -100.62545
