Grand Island — Nebraska's favorite island — is a city of 53,000 in central Nebraska. It is home to the Spring Migration of the Sandhill Cranes and the Nebraska State Fair. The economy is rooted in agriculture, and annually hosts national livestock events and the renowned Husker Harvest Days farm show. We're proud of our living history museum (Stuhr Museum) and Heartland Public Shooting Park – a shooting range unmatched for 1,000 miles in any direction. The Railside District, our historic downtown, offers unique shopping and dining, breweries, and an operating 1930s movie theater.
