WHEEL MUSEUM

The Chitwood Wheel Museum was recently renovated and reopened to the public. It features a steam engine, Nebraska river exhibit, Nebraska Farmer magazine press room, early printing exhibit, 1846 cannon, and carriages. The museum was a gift from Melva Sage. The exterior of the building has recently been restored to its look from 1916.

Our museums are an important part of the BHS mission. We invite you to spend time in each of them and learn about Nebraska, the United States and our shared history. Our museums are always free to the public. Hours of Operation are 1 - 4pm CST Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from early April through October. Small or large group tours and other special accomodations can be arranged by contacting Steve Woerth at scwoert@gmail.com.
