If it's been too long since you've watch fireflies and listened to the coyotes howl, then you need to plan a trip to
Victoria Springs.
Located on Highway 21A just six miles east of Anselmo, The Victoria Springs SRA is a wonderful oasis in the Nebraska Sandhills.
Victoria Springs has a very unique history. In 1875, the community of "New Helena" was established on the area that is now Victoria Springs SRA. The original post office still stands on the site.
