~ ALONG THE OREGON TRAIL ~
Many wagons passed by this now National Monument located in Morrill County Nebraska. Scotts Bluff National Monument in western Nebraska includes an important 19th century landmark on the Oregon Trail and Mormon Trail. The monument contains multiple bluffs (steep hills) located on the south side of the North Platte River, but it is named after one prominent bluff called Scotts Bluff which rises over 830 feet (330 m) above the plains at its highest point. The monument is composed of five rock formations named Crown Rock, Dome Rock, Eagle Rock, Saddle Rock, and Sentinel Rock. Scotts Bluff County and the city of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, were named after the landmark. Although discovered by non-natives in 1812, it was In 1823 the route to the Rocky Mountains was rediscovered, and the bluffs became a regular landmark for fur traders in the region.More info in the discussion area……

This most prominent bluff was named after a fur trader named Hiram Scott who died near the bluff in 1828. Wagon trains used the bluff as a major landmark for navigation. The town of Gering, Nebraska, was founded near the base of the bluff in 1887, and the city of Scottsbluff was founded across the North Platte River from the bluff in 1900. Separated only by the river, the two cities have since grown together and now form the 8th-largest urban area in Nebraska. This is one of the wagons on display at the visitors center. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!
