Just In Case - alternative sites to assure appropriate viewing opportunities for everyone!

Homestead National Monument of America is one of the premier locations in the United States to view the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. Based on the overwhelming response from the public expected to be at Homestead that day, staff members have been very busy making preparations to assure an enjoyable and safe visit. Due to the unpredictability of the actual size of the crowd that day, visitors may be directed to local alternative sites to assure appropriate viewing opportunities for everyone. This would only be communicated should special transportation systems or roads become overloaded, or an emergency situation occurs. For updates on the capacity status at Homestead please check our Facebook Page and/or listen to Radio News Channel Nebraska at a.m. 14.50 that Monday. You can also find area information at www.eclipsebeatrice.com which is operated by the Beatrice Chamber of Commerce and Gage County Tourism. We welcome you to Homestead National Monument of America and recommend you arrive early on August 21 to secure a viewing spot. Thank you for your interest and consideration.
