Arbor Lodge State Historical Park and Arboretum is a mansion and arboretum located at 2600 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, Nebraska, United States. The park is a National Historic Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1969. The 52-room neo-colonial house began in 1855 for J. Sterling Morton, originator of Arbor Day and Secretary of Agriculture in the 1890s under President Grover Cleveland. The house was originally a modest 4-room frame structure on 160 acres (65 ha). It was extended several times, most recently in 1903, and in later years served as the summer home for his son Joy Morton, founder of Morton Salt Company. The mansion features Victorian and Empire furnishings, many of which were owned by the Mortons. Its sun parlor contains a fine Tiffany skylight with grape trellis design. Trees were a central interest of J. Sterling Morton. He imported trees from all over the country in order to test their suitability to create windbreaks and otherwise break up the monotony of the great plains. The house is surrounded by 270 varieties of trees and shrubs, including gardens, apple orchards, and acres of oaks, maples, chestnuts, and pines, including at least 10 state-champion trees. Specimen trees are typically labeled with engraved bronze plates. Over the years, many of Arbor Lodge's apple orchards were demolished, but in the 1990s their restoration began with plantings of winesaps, golden delicious, red delicious, jonathans, and jonadels.

Boscobel is a historic two-story house in Nebraska City, Nebraska. It was built in 1879 for Rollin M. Rolfe, a grocer, banker and co-founder of the Midland Pacific Railway who served on Nebraska City's city council as a Republican in 1873. The house was designed in the Italianate style, with "paneled and bracketed cornice" and "stone quoins." Rolfe moved out of the house in 1886. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 17, 1976. It was deemed a "fine example" of Italianate style in Nebraska, though like other surviving examples it is modest in its implementation of the style, forgoing extra flourishes. The name "Boscobel", as applied apparently first to the 1632-built Boscobel House in England, associated with the escape of King Charles II after being defeated by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester, was believed to derive from the Italian phrase bosco bello meaning "in the midst of fair woods".
