Located in eastern Iowa, these communal towns were essentially unchanged for 89 years, one of the longest lasting communal societies in the world. All land and buildings were owned by the community; families were assigned living quarters, and each person over school age worked at assigned tasks in the kitchens, fields, factories or shops. |

Located at 137th and West Dodge Rd. Omaha Nebraska, the late Father Flanagan's world-famous "City of Little Men," is an incorporated village on a 1,300 acre site located in West Omaha. |
While in Omaha, you may like to visit Nebraska's most popular attraction, The Henry Doorly Zoo, but leave a whole day for it. The Omaha Golden Spikes Triple A team plays right next door.
The Joslyn Art Museum houses an extensive collection of paintings and sculpture from antiquity to the present.
Here, you can check out Omaha youself.
West of Omaha, you can explore The Bohemian Alps.
This hay bale church dates from 1928 and is located in Arthur, Nebraska. South of Arthur is Keystone, home of "The Little Church", where, from 1908 to 1929, Catholics and Protestants both worshiped (the last Lutheran service was held in 1949). Separate altars were built at each end and pew backs swiveled up and over for the respective congregation. |

While you're in the panhandle, you might also like to visit Ash Hollow State Historical Park where visitors can glimpse a bit of geology, paleontology, history of early man, and the story of the great pioneer trek west or Fort Robinson Park near Crawford.
Also in the area is Carhenge, near Alliance, and furthur east, The Niobrara river.
Nobody canoes the Niobrara anymore, it's too crowded. Back in the 70s we would have Smith Falls all to ourselves. Maybe if you put in at Cody and got out at Nenzel you could avoid the press; just go early and take your raingear.
This 19th century resort town is centrally located to several points of interest. You might also like to take the waters. |
