Announcements
The Mayhew Cabin Museum is closed indefinitely as a result of a major sewer backup, which led to extensive flooding. We are pleased to announce, however, that the Mayhew Cabin Foundation is striving to work with the City of Nebraska to address the issues.
In the meantime, the Mayhew Cabin Foundation is looking for space in Nebraska City to house an off-site Mayhew Cabin Interpretive Center. With an Interpretive Center, we could once again interpret the rich history of the Underground Railroad in Nebraska!
If you or someone you know has available commercial (or current museum) space within Nebraska City, please feel free to call Doug Kreifels at (402) 209-4060, or email [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!
Experience History
Prior to closure, the Mayhew Cabin with John Brown’s Cave Museum in Nebraska City interpreted the history of the Underground Railroad in Nebraska. The Mayhew Cabin was the first site in Nebraska to be recognized by the National Park Service’s Network to Freedom.

A self-directed driving tour was developed for Nebraska’s Network to Freedom sites. You can view or download the Network to Freedom Underground Railroad Trail brochure and map by clicking on the following link.
With Sympathy
The Mayhew Cabin Foundation wishes to express deep sadness at the passing of former docent, Marge Jordan. Marge was a delightful, loyal, unassuming lady. For many years, Marge and her husband Bob, were dedicated friends of the museum. May they both rest in peace.
