Rock Creek Station, Historical protected area in Jefferson County, Nebraska, US.
Rock Creek Station encompasses 350 acres of prairie hilltops, timber-studded creek bottoms, and ravines with deep wagon ruts from pioneer trails.
Established in 1858, this station served as a vital stop on the Oregon Trail, offering essential services to pioneers traveling westward during American expansion.
The station includes reconstructed buildings and living history demonstrations that illustrate the daily operations and lifestyle of nineteenth-century frontier settlements.
Visitors can access the park from 8 AM until sunset throughout the year, with entry permits available for purchase at park offices or online.
The park preserves visible wagon wheel ruts carved into the ground by thousands of vehicles that traveled along the Oregon and California trails.
