The museum is not the only thing you can visit. On site is a historic CB&Q caboose that was used for ranchers while they were shipping their stock over the railroad. Please ask the front desk, to look at the inside.
Gage County Historical Society and Museum also owns the Filley Stone Barn and the Tri- County Oregon Trail Marker. Please ask the front desk for the directions to both locations.
