When J. Sterling Morton came to Nebraska City in 1854, he found a treeless landscape. Because Morton enjoyed trees, he often encouraged people to plant them, eventually deciding to host an “Arbor Day.” Nebraskans planted an estimated one million trees on that first Arbor Day on April 10, 1872, and a global holiday was born! Today, the city’s love of trees continues, creating a destination for nature lovers to explore all year long and even hosting a massive\u00a0<\/span>Arbor Day festival<\/span><\/a>\u00a0every year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When heading to Nebraska City, visiting\u00a0<\/span>Arbor Day\u00a0Farm<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(where\u00a0Morton lived when he was alive) is a must. Here,\u00a0you’ll\u00a0find\u00a0<\/span>Tree Adventures<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>a Treetop Village<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>a Discovery Ride<\/span><\/a>\u00a0through the farm, wine tasting, a spa, shopping, hiking trails, educational tours and so much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is there anything that reminds you of summer (or your childhood) more than Kool-Aid? The beverage was created in Hastings, Nebraska by a man named Edwin Perkins in 1927, who conducted\u00a0all of\u00a0his science experiments in his mother\u2019s kitchen. When he created the powdered drink, it was simply intended\u00a0as a way to\u00a0reduce shipping costs for fruit-flavored drinks, but it immediately took off and is still popular today. Hastings still celebrates its claim to fame by hosting a summer festival\u00a0called\u00a0<\/span>\u201cKool-Aid Days\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on the second weekend in August.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Unbeknownst to many, this small town in the center of America is\u00a0actually the\u00a0Kolach\u00a0capital of the world. What is\u00a0a\u00a0Kolach? Well, it\u2019s a traditional pastry filled with jam, cheese, or other toppings from the Czech Republic. You can try one of these tasty treats at the\u00a0<\/span>Verdigre Bakery<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or the town\u2019s annual\u00a0<\/span>Kolach Days<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in June.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
