About

Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island, Nebraska features 60 authentic 1890s Great Plains buildings on 200 acres—including Henry Fonda's actual birthplace cottage—recreating a complete late Victorian Nebraska railroad town surrounded by sweeping prairie horizon. The museum's period structures span a blacksmith shop, general store, schoolhouse, church, railroad depot, and residential buildings representing the full social fabric of late 19th-century Midwest small-town life. Both interior and exterior filming available across all period structures with Hall County film permit coordination. The surrounding Nebraska prairie landscape delivers authentic Great Plains atmosphere with minimal modern intrusion. Perfect for late 19th-century Midwest period drama, prairie homesteading narratives, and productions exploring the settlement of the American Plains. A premier Nebraska film location with genuine historic provenance. Filming permits available through Stuhr Museum Film Office. Formal county film use agreements required for commercial productions.
