Further north on highway 87 you will find the astonishing Greenhouse in the Snow. An idea laughed and scoffed' at that came to reality with the determination and knowledge of Russ Finch who grows tropical plants on a low energy budget. The greenhouses are now being sold worldwide!!!
Alliance, Nebraska
Welcome to Alliance, Nebraska!
Located in the high plains on the western edge of the Nebraska Sandhills, Alliance was originally called Grand Lake due to the large alkalai lake that once covered the area. Many alkalai lakes may still be found in the area of Alliance. The railroad came through in 1888 and the name was changed to Alliance. There are several versions of why the name was changed. One version relates that it was due to the area being a junction point for two railroads. The railroads still play a major part in Alliance's economy as a large yard for coaltrains is in Alliance. Alliance boasts a population of over 9,000 people and it is the county seat for Box Butte County.
The City of Alliance proudly offers much to the visitor and citizen alike. The eccentric Carhenge is just north of town on highway 87.
It was the site for thousands who came to experience the 2017 total solar eclipse. Carhenge now belongs to the City orf Alliance and there is no charge to visit.
