Located in Bartlett, Nebraska, the park is near the Mignery Sculpture Garden, home to one of the largest bronze statue collections in the country. Created by local artist Herb Mignery, a member of the Cowboy Artists of America, the garden features over 50 bronze sculptures depicting scenes from frontier life and cowboy culture. Each piece brings the history of the American West to life, making this stop more than just a place to stretch your legs—it’s a glimpse into the region’s past.
