Make the Most of Your Columbus Stay

Where history meets industry

Columbus stands at the crossroads of Nebraska's industrial heritage and frontier history, earning its "City of Power and Progress" designation through manufacturing leadership and hydroelectric innovation. The Andrew Jackson Higgins National Memorial honors the local inventor whose landing craft changed World War II, featuring a life-size replica of the Higgins Boat that Eisenhower credited with winning the war. Downtown's Trackside District preserves authentic Americana at Glur's Tavern, the oldest continuously operating tavern west of the Missouri River since 1876, where Buffalo Bill Cody once stopped.

Business hub with regional access

The city serves business travelers with convenient positioning between Omaha and Lincoln, both accessible within 90 minutes via rental car. The 23rd Street corridor provides hotel brands and conference facilities, while Dusters Restaurant in the historic Gottberg building offers upscale dining in a National Register setting. Harrah's Columbus brings contemporary entertainment with its casino floor, sportsbook, and revitalized horse racing.

Authentic prairie character

Columbus reveals its character through traditions like Columbus Days festival and the Platte County Museum's frontier artifacts. Pawnee Park stretches along the Loup River with 153 acres of green space, while the surrounding agricultural landscape reflects the working heritage that defines this practical Midwestern city.
