Spring has arrived, and this year brings several exciting opportunities to enjoy our museum complex and explore Steinauer’s history.

The museum is part of the WanderNebraska program sponsored by the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation. Visitors can scan QR codes at each stop along the route to log their travels across Nebraska. The museum is not the only featured stop in Steinauer — be sure to visit the sign located next to the large mural in town as well.

Summer is also the perfect time to experience the Steinauer Walking Tour. Maps are available at the museum and online through Walking Tour | Steinauer.US.

This season’s featured display highlights the development of the Tall Grass Prairie Project. The project began in the summer of 2023 with preparation of the planting area and the creation of two indigenous flower beds. That fall, volunteers planted 14 oak trees and 15 bushes. In January 2024, prairie grass and flower seed was planted, followed by the installation of flower beds and an interpretive sign in the spring.

Now entering its third summer, the prairie is beginning to come to life as native grasses emerge and flowers begin to bloom. These plantings will continue to attract pollinators and enhance both the prairie and garden areas.

Visitors will also see significant progress this summer on the restoration of the historic firehouse. Work is currently underway to develop exhibits and interpretive signage that will continue sharing the story of Steinauer’s history for future generations.
