As a former fur-trading post, Chadron is ideal for exploring High Plains heritage. Don't miss the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center or the Museum of the Fur Trade. Then make time for exploring Chadron's other side: in this home of the Nebraska National Forest, Pine Ridge National Recreation Area and Nebraska's first state park (named Chadron, naturally), you might choose to hunt, ride horseback or mountain bike through rolling, scenic terrain.
