Most of us have heard the tales of Bigfoot or Sasquatch, those wood apes that have captured the attention of generations of curious minds. Now, there's a place in Hastings, Nebraska where you can go to learn more about Bigfoot and plenty of other mysterious creatures.
The Bigfoot Crossroads of America Museum opened in 2018. Its creator is a local woman named Harriett McFeely, who has spent nearly her entire life studying and gathering evidence of the elusive Bigfoot.
McFeely realized her personal Bigfoot collection was getting a bit out of hand when her dining room table was completely hidden underneath papers, artifacts, pictures, and all kinds of Bigfoot evidence.
Today, those objects occupy a unique little museum. You'll also find information relating to lots of other creatures of mysterious origin. The displays often include skulls, footprint castings, photographs, and drawings.
Bigfoot enthusiasts will love the amount of detail that McFeely has put into the museum. If you've ever wondered about Bigfoot's habitat, feeding habits, breeding, or pretty much any other aspects of its life, you'll find info about it here. And if there's no exhibit, Harriett McFeely will happily answer any questions you may have.
