Niobrara County Chamber of Commerce

Niobrara County abounds with scenic views and fascinating history. Lusk, the county seat, is a trading center for the farming, ranching, and oil production district. West of Lusk, Native Americans obtained paint materials from the red-colored cliffs. The Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage Line route ran through this area. To the east is a marker showing a segment of the Texas Trail. Outdoor recreation in all four seasons beckons enthusiasts to the area. Each July, the Legend of Rawhide outdoor show of western history includes a pageant with covered wagons, uniformed cavalry troops and Sioux Indian Nation performers.
