Mari Sandoz, "Nebraska's Story Teller" was a prize -winning author and historian who wrote about the travelers to and the settlement of the Great Plains.

The Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center is toward the west side of the Chadron State College (CSC) Campus at 10th and Main Street in Chadron, NE.

The Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center admission is free. You can support the Center by purchases at a small book store with Nebraska Titles or by making a donation. We bought a couple of books from the helpful staff lady in charge of the exhibit that day who said we could take pictures of the Mari Sandoz exhibit for this Web Site.

Tips We would rate the Mari Sandoz Heritage Center as a "Must See" in any Western Nebraska Travels Sandhills road trip that takes you near Chadron, NE. There are several other great attractions and places of interest in the Chadron area. They include the Nebraska National Forest, Chadron State Park, and the Museum of the Fur Trade.

You should also check out the very interesting "Must See" Toadstool Geologic Park near Crawford 18 miles west of Chadron, NE while you are in this area -- Preview the Park on our new Toadstool Geologic Park Info + Nebraska Badlands Pictures Page.
