The cabin is just south of Circleville, Utah, on Highway 89. Admission is free and there is ample parking. I had no clue this place would be along my route and was thrilled to check it out. I didn't give many details in the video for such a short stop but I will provide some informational links below.

The American Heartlands cover most of the land region in the United States. People who live in large urban areas refer to it as "fly-over country" when you hear them talk about rural areas in the media. What if they could sit and watch videos about places, people, and communities, that they depend on, without a lot of slick production and hype?
Real unscripted people and events or tours of the local attractions, adventures, and natural areas are opportunities I seek as I explore The American Heartlands and share my findings with you!

I recently rediscovered a map I had created while researching the story of Amarillo's trolley car and street car system so this page is currently a placeholder for it until I find the time to reveal the rest of the story, Yes, if you know where to look... there are still signs of the system in Amarillo today.
I know I have some old trolley photos archived somewhere and I will keep looking. But, I did manage to find a couple of photos on the Amarillo Public Library website.

Kimball, Nebraska claims to be the highpoint of Nebraska but the actual location is 25 miles to the southwest and close to where the states of Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming meet. #highpoint #nebraska #americanheartlands
The location is on privately owned land that is used to pasture American Bison. There were no signs of Bison when I was there but that may not be the case when you go there so use some common sense if they are on the location.
I did make an attempt to visit the tri-state intersection close to this location but it too was on private land but no public access that i could readily see. While attempting to confirm the location, I was detained by US Air Force personnel and detained for being too close to an active nuclear missile silo. I did cut some video for that excursion but the military confiscated all the recordings near the missile site and my detainment. I never violated any of the signage in the area but it still cost me more than 90 minutes of lost time when I was already under pressure to get to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The Wheat Growers Hotel opened in 1890 in the tiny town of Kimball, Nebraska to serve passengers traveling on the first transcontinental railroad in the United States. It was considered a large structure at that time and known to serve wealthy travelers with a plush environment and service. The structure is not open to the general public currently as steps are being taken to restore the hotel as a registered historic landmark.
The video above is the first part of an attempt to explore the building and some of its stories and more segments appear on this page below.
