From the Back Cover

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Whether you’re a visitor or a local looking for something different, let Nebraska Off the Beaten Path show you the Cornhusker State you never knew existed. Set yourself down on the world’s largest porch swing, in Hebron—actually in the city park, but big enough to fit twenty adults; “Czech” out the outstanding collection of dolls, dishes, laces, and costumes at the Czech Museum in Wilber; or hide out for a bit in Robber’s Cave near Winnebago, where river pirates and the notorious James gang once hid out. So if you’ve “been there, done that” one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

You can go diamond hunting off Highway 8 in Odell, but don’t expect to get rich. Odell “diamonds” are actually curious quartz crystals that are perfectly diamond shaped.     Page 35.
