The Archway
Kearney, Nebraska | 172 Miles
Westward ho, pioneers! The Archway in Kearney, Nebraska, celebrates the pioneering spirit of generations of travelers who crossed the state on their journey west. Dedicated in 2000 as the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument (and later shortened to simply “The Archway”), the 308-foot structure spans Interstate 80 3 miles east of Kearney. With its displays and dioramas showcasing westward expansion, the Archway is the only museum to straddle an interstate highway. Start your journey to the Archway with a jaunt through the Loup Rivers Scenic Byway, which traces the paths of the North, Middle and South Loup rivers through rural central Nebraska.
