Being that I was planning on visiting Fort Robinson State Park, I wanted to find something unique nearby to try from Nebraska to take home. I also like supporting small businesses when possible. Wellll, I must say Gibbons Honey Farm is an AWESOME choice!!! When entering the store, I was greeted by Wayne and Julie, the owners and their daughter and grandson, all of whom were super nice. I learned the history of the farm and how Wayne, eventhough his family had a long legacy of beekeeping, had no interest in it as a young person. Years later, he changed his mind. Wayne took me in back and showed a bit about the process of honey producing and I saw a LOT of 55 gallon drums of honey. It was pretty cool to see the workings of the setup. He even let me try (Sidr, I think) honey from ( I think) Yemen, widely acclaimed as the best in the world. Boy oh boy was that gooood!!!! The flavor of that was out of this world. That’s expensive stuff, so I feel very privileged to have been given a taste. He doesn’t sell it, but an acquaintance/friend brought him some back after visiting the country. The product Gibbons sells is PHENOMENAL!!! Theirs has a fresh taste that’s nothing like store bought that has fillers in it. It’s pure, unadulterated honey. I was in heaven trying different samples. The honeys that I bought were, of course one quart of their pure honey, which is soo rich in flavor. I also bought some goldenrod honey, which adds a very slight pungent taste to the honey and dandelion honey, which has a more pungent flavor. I bought some also that have fruits in them: Raspberry Creme’ honey and my favorite, some Chokecherry Creme’ honey. Oooohhhh man, is this good stuff!!! I also checked out some of their other products, including different soaps, of which I bought one bar with honey and lavender. That smells wonderful!!! This place is great for guys, but I think the girls might like it even more. There are a good number of beauty products to buy. In conclusion, due to being treated very kindly by the owners Wayne and Julie, the great quality of their honey and the cleanliness of the store, I VERY highly recommend you support this very small business!!! I know I will come back if i visit the area again!!!! Thanks for reading. If you feel this review has helped you, it would be appreciated if you would tap the ???? button below. Thank you.
2. Fort Robinson State Park

This is an excellent state park with plenty of Western history, especially of the US cavalry and the native American tribes of the region. Markers note the location of the original fort and many buildings of the later installation remain, some being used as museums or cabins. There are some good trails on the edge of the park; we hiked up the ridges to the north for great views of the fort. Its in the middle of nowhere but a great stop to seek out.

This museum is not part of Fort Robinson and you will have to pay an entrance fee. The big draw of this museum is the two dueling mammoths. The ground level has nearly all of the exhibits while the upper level has the video that tells about the fossils along with the tale of prisoners trying to escape.
