O'Fallons Bluff, Historic site near Sutherland, Nebraska.
The bluffs extend for 20 miles along the south side of the Platte River, displaying visible wagon ruts carved by pioneers during westward migration.
The Donner Party traversed this challenging section of the Oregon Trail in 1846, marking a significant point in their journey toward California.
Iron hoops installed at the Sutherland Rest Area mark the locations of original wagon wheel paths, preserving the heritage of 19th-century westward migration.
Visitors can access the site through the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80, where a rest area provides interpretive panels, vending machines, and restrooms.
Archaeological excavations in 1966 searched for military fortifications from 1864 but found only animal bones in the surrounding area.
