Gothenburg, NE
The Sod House in Gothenburg, Nebraska is a preserved example of early settler architecture that uses sod walls finished with lime wash and a muslin ceiling to protect against dust. The property also contains a barn that holds photographs and other historical items, as well as wooden windmills that illustrate the farmstead’s original layout. The site is open daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. between May and September and can be reached just past I‑80 Exit 21.
