Your Fourth of July can look however you want. Make it especially fun with a state park event!
If you love learning Nebraska history, visit Fort Kearny [ [link removed] ] or Fort Atkinson [ [link removed] ] for fascinating reenactments and cannon firings. Patriotic quilts [ [link removed] ] are on display at Arbor Lodge State Historical Park, and Fort Robinson's annual barbecue [ [link removed] ] is not to be missed!
Pick one of these fun events and pair it with a low-key day of swimming, fishing, grilling or hiking (camping spots [ [link removed] ] may still be available too).
