Garden County

Nearby Garden County and the communities of Lewellen, Oshkosh and Lisco have much to offer, including Ash Hollow State Historical Park. Sweet spring water made Ash Hollow State Historical Park near Lewellen a major stopover on the Oregon and California trails and prompted prehistoric indigenous peoples to use it, too. Ruts etched by west-bound wagons are still visible on the bluffs. Today, the area’s beauty and sweeping vistas continue to make this area a popular destination for vacationers and travelers. The history, archaeology and paleontology of the area are interpreted at the visitor center, Ash Hollow Cave, exhibits and structures. Park grounds are open 8 a.m. to sunset year-round.
