On this day in 1867, 150 years ago, Nebraska became the 37th state | March 1, 2017

From Midwest National Parks:




On this day in 1867, 150 years ago, Nebraska became the 37th state. Whether you are excited about U.S. history or you simply want a place to camp, boat, fish, and enjoy the great outdoors, Nebraska's national parks offer more than you could imagine. From scenic rivers to the Pony Express, from ancient fossils to dusty pioneer trails, the parks of Nebraska showcase nature, wildlife, and the adventurous spirit of the settlers of the past. #MidwestNPS

Great Falls Park

From U.S. Department of the Interior:




Just outside of Washington, D.C., in Virginia, Great Falls Park is the perfect place to get some exercise. There’s hiking, biking, fishing, climbing and boating opportunities. But, however fast you’re moving, the stunning view of the Potomac River crashing over the falls will stop you in your tracks.
