Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway

Ansley

Continuing west to Ansley, the Ansley park is a nice stop for tourists and residents alike. It offers camping facilities, baseball, playground and picnic areas, along with a well-stocked fishing pond. Ansley is a pivot point for travelers going north to the Calamus Reservoir near Burwell; east to Grand Island, Lincoln, or Omaha; south to the Interstate; or west to the Sandhills. North of Ansley is the community of Sargent, home of the Chokecherry Jamboree. Many have tried their luck at the pit-spitting contests at the June celebration. A tour of the Little Log Company Workshop is a must. Birds can only dream of living in these unique log cabin birdhouses, many of which have been shipped all over the world. A visit to the Dowse Sod House near Comstock can be arranged on the return trip from Sargent back to Highway 2.
