Things to do in Kearney

Kearney sits along Interstate 80 and the Platte River in the middle of Nebraska, a regional center for healthcare, retail, manufacturing and agriculture. The University of Nebraska at Kearney brings students and faculty, and the city’s position halfway across the state makes it a natural meeting point for businesses that work across the plains.
