Orphan Train Museum at Concordia Kansas is a brief stop that's pretty economical and quite interesting about a rather dark time in American history when orphans were sent west from the cities in the east. On the west side of the courthouse at Concordia is a huge marble supported by a jet of water. Just north of Concordia is remnants of Camp Concordia that was a German POW camp during WW2.
At Hutchinson Kansas is the Underground salt mine museum that will take about a half day but very interesting. Also at Hutchinson is the Cosmosphere. It is a museum largely about the rocket/space race and cold war after WW2 and up through man landing on the moon. One could likely kill a half day there as well. Hutchinson is also the home of the KS State Fair and the campground there is quite nice if you opt to visit Hutch.
Further North in Abilene KS is the Eisenhower museum and library. Across the street is the Greyhound Hall of Fame and the Abilene and Smokey Valley tourist Railroad and Old Abilene town.
Goin north into Nebraska, near Fairbury is Rock Creek State Historical Park. This is where the Oregon Trail and Pony Express both crossed Rock Creek and also where Wild Bill Hickok began his gunfighting career killing the owner of Pony Express station that is restored there. Nice campground there as well.
A little bit NW of Beatrice is Homestead National Historical Park where Daniel Freeman claimed the first 160 acres after the Homestead Act was enacted.
The air museum between Lincoln and Omaha as mentioned by others is very good too. Jim

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
