July 4
Fort Robinson State Park
Celebrate the Fourth at a
Nebraska state park! Before
heading out for this hamburger
barbeque, stop by nearby
Crawford's annual parade,
and later in the evening, enjoy
Crawford's rodeo and fireworks
display. Stay overnight at Fort
Robinson's historic lodging
quarters, or at one of its many
campsites, and experience more
of what the park has to offer, like
Jeep and horse-drawn tours of
the park and excellent equestrian
trails.
