Three Nebraska Passport stops for Custer Co.
- Three Custer County locations are included in the 2023 Nebraska Passport program. Among the 70 listed attractions are the Sandhills Journey National Scenic Byway Visitor Center (the Big Red Barn) and the Custer County Museum in Broken Bow and The Rescue Bar & Grill in Sargent.
Nebraska Tourism states that the Passport inspires Nebraskans and tourists to travel throughout the state collecting stamps to earn prizes while also supporting Nebraska’s tourism destinations and local businesses.
“We are thrilled to kick off the 2023 Nebraska Passport after another strong year in 2022,” John Ricks, Nebraska Tourism executive director, said. “This year’s program will offer yet another chance for Nebraska travelers to experience our hidden gems while leaving a positive economic impact across the state.”
This year’s program represents 56 communities spanning the entire state. Travelers
will have from May 1 through Sept. 30 to visit the attractions and collect their stamps.
“2023 has plenty of Passport stops that are brand new to all kinds of participants,” Madison Johnson, Passport program coordinator, said. “This year, you can go antiquing, feed zoos animals, rent bikes and eat everything from BBQ to artisanal chocolates! Most importantly Passporters will spend quality time with friends and family or simply fall in love with Nebraska.”
