Gothenburg

Gothenburg, Nebraska is named after Gothenburg, Sweden, and is noted for its Swedish legacy. The Pony Express Trail goes through Gothenburg. There are two unique Pony Express Stations in Gothenburg. In 1931, a station situated on the Upper 96 Ranch, four miles east of Fort McPherson in Lincoln County, was given to the city. The station was moved to Ehmen Park in focal Gothenburg. A moment station is still in its unique area, on the Lower 96 Ranch four miles south of Gothenburg; it is available to the general population on a restricted premise. The Sod House Museum was set up in Gothenburg in 1988. The gallery remains beside a full-scale copy of a genuine grass house, together with an outbuilding, windmills and life-sized security fencing model.
