Duck Pin Bowling
The village of Potter proudly claims the title of the "Home of the Tin Roof Sundae," it's also where locals still enjoy spirited rounds of duck pin bowling. Located along I-80, this charming community is a convenient stop for both inquisitive and hungry travelers.

Seed Warriors
Members of the Pawnee Nation united with Nebraska farmers to preserve the tribe’s ancestral corn. Sacred to their heritage, the corn can be traced back to when the Pawnee were expelled from their homeland in 1877. They carried their prized seeds from Nebraska to Indian Territory (Oklahoma), but the corn wouldn't grow in Oklahoma. Set aside for years, the corn was on the verge of extinction until an unexpected friendship created an opportunity for the Pawnee to grow their corn once again in Nebraska.
