In the 1840s, pioneers en route to Oregon and California travelled the open prairie until arriving at Nebraska’s Ash Hollow, where they found an oasis of wild rose bushes, ash trees—the first trees they had seen for 200 miles—and fresh, clean spring water. 

While the world around it has changed, Ash Hollow and Garden County are still that pristine oasis where you can walk the Oregon-California Trail or touch nature and enjoy art, music and locally brewed coffee.
