Union Pacific Railroad Museum<\/a><\/h3>\n

One of our favorite free activities in Council Bluffs also happens to be one of the most iconic: the Union Pacific Railroad Museum! It is located in the unique Beaux Arts-style building that formerly housed the Carnegie Library, the city\u2019s first free public library. The gorgeous museum is a must-visit destination for railroad fans around the country, offering fascinating exhibits on the Union Pacific Railroad (you\u2019ll even be able to spot a few artifacts from NP Dodge\u2019s founding fathers!). Admission is free, but donations are always welcome.<\/p>\n
