2. Clayton Museum of Ancient History
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 11 reviews
The Clayton Museum of Ancient History featuring the Stanback collection includes a wide array of artifacts, with the core of the collection focused around the Roman soldier. This facility offers enhancements for classroom instruction in history and Biblical studies and provides an excellent collection that the college shares with the public. CMAH's interactive area, the Little Kingdom, gives visitors a hands-on experience on an archaeology dig, living in an ancient Israelite house, or shopping a Roman market. The museum is housed in the lower level of the newly remodeled Phyllis Mackey Center (8th and Delaware).

This was a wonderful little museum out in the middle of no where. The exhibits were tastefully done and although the museum had what I would call small artifacts, they have done and excellent job chronicling the history of the Roman Empire (both east and west) from beginning to end. They have also done an excellent job with the history of the Bible, again chronicling how it came to it’s current state. Anyone interested in ancient history should plan a visit should you pass through Nebraska!

I love to go to these small town and county museums. They are a great place to see a lot of local history artifacts and memorabilia, and this was no exception. In fact, a lot of the items displayed here have been donated by the people of York. There are displays of farm equipment, regular household things, jewelry, quilts and lots of other things. The museum is in a community type building downtown, As I recall parking was on the street and there is no admission. Go and be pleasantly surprised.

Lifetime collection of marbles and the largest collection in the world. Free admission to the marble museum. We also sell marbles, coins, antiques and a little of everything else to help add to the museum and keep it free and open to the public.

It's always a delight to stop somewhere and share someone's passions with them. It was clear that Lee is really passionate about what he does. As he tells it, he was a great marble shooter back in the day, so he just started holding on to them, and now he has the biggest collection of marbles in the world. If that isn't Americana for you, I don't know what is. Lee is an exceedingly nice guy, and I got some cool marbles, as well as some stellar VHSs and buttons!

We were passing through on our way home to Texas and spent one night at Recharge Lake campground. The sites are huge and level. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained with flush (yay!) toilets. This was a very inexpensive and convenient place to camp. My only suggestions would be to add a dumpster and put some lights in the bathrooms.
