Sweet spring water
made Ash Hollow
State Historical
Park near Lewellen
a major stopover
on the Overland
Trail and prompted
prehistoric Indians
to use it, too. Ruts
etched by west-
bound wagons are still visible on the bluffs. Today, the area's
beauty and sweeping vistas continue to make this area a
popular destination for vacationers and travelers. The history,
archaeology and paleontology of the area are interpreted at the
visitor center, Ash Hollow Cave and exhibits and structures.
