While we suspect some local residents don’t take the idea of a Bigfoot museum and research center seriously, the facility in Hastings is being recognized.

The Bigfoot Crossroads of America Museum and Research Center located at 1205 E. 42nd Street has been recognized by Gov. Pete Ricketts. The governor has proclaimed a Bigfoot Crossroads of Nebraska Day and named Harriett McFeely Nebraska Bigfoot Lady and her partner, Kenny Collins as “Nebraska Bigfoot Guy.”

The museum and research center have been in operation for four years. Currently, the museum was featured as one of the stops in the Nebraska Tourism Commission’s Passport 2020 Program. McFeely and her museum were featured in the Virgin Airlines’ inflight magazine. Recently, the Bigfoot Museum was voted as one of the “Top 3” tourist attractions in Nebraska by German Public Broadcasting.

In the last four years, they have proven to themselves, their community, and their state - that their Bigfoot Crossroads of Nebraska Museum and Research Center is of great interest to many, and has gotten - and continues to get - local, national and international recognition. All facts and exhibits are based on their main goal - that everything is historical, educational and scientific with no exceptions.
