Located on the west shore of Lake Helen, the Veterans War Memorial is a reminder of sacrifices made by veterans and their families of all wars. The names listed commemorate local residents who gave their lives in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War. They served that we might enjoy freedom. Gothenburg has two city parks in addition to Lake Helen. Ehmen Park, which has been named a state arboretum, and E.G. West Park include swings, picnic areas, playground equipment, two lighted tennis courts and one unlighted court. Known as the “Pony Express Capital of Nebraska,” Gothenburg boasts two Pony Express stations. One is still located on its original site on the Lower 96 Ranch, 4 miles south of Gothenburg. The second station was located on the Upper 96 Ranch, 24 miles west of the Lower 96 Ranch. It was rebuilt in Ehmen Park, where it remains today and is a main attraction for over 20,000 tourists annually. The station is open seven days a week.
