Nebraska Tourist AttractionsGuide to roadside oddities and other strange, unusual and weird attractions in Nebraska.
And the city of Alliance wanted to bulldoze this roadside oddity down because it was junk???? Not only does Alliance have Carhenge, but it is also the starting point (or finishing point) of Nebraska Route 2, a scenic byway through sandhills, cattle country, marshes, and corn fields. One of the unique attractions along the Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway is America’s largest hand-planted forest.

Directions: Carhenge is 3 1/2 mi. N. of Alliance on NE Hwy 87. Check for a Carhenge smashed penny machine at a small shop by the parking lot. The machine is right in front of you as you walk in the door.
There is also a Carnastoga at the Carhenge site. A lot of covered wagons came through this area way back when.
Follow in the wagon wheel ruts of the Oregon Trail and live like the pioneers of the 1850s for four days.
That's a lonnnnnng time without electricity.
Can you handle it? Maybe just one day is enough for this Nebraska tourist attraction...
