Kregel Windmill Factory Museum – $1 per child and $3 per adult
The turbine-type wind machines produced b the Kregel Windmill Factory are a staple of the plains and prairies of North America. These important tools combined with drilled wells were essential to the settlement of Nebraska.
The Museum now stands as a tribute to this tool and the American use of renewable power to improve human lives. Discover the history of the windmill and see the tools used in its creation.

Omaha Children’s Museum – FREE Memberships!
Explore more than 45,000 square feet of exhibits, interactive play spaces and so much more at Omaha Children’s Museum! As a Museums for All partner, this museum invites qualifying EBT recipients to visit the museum for FREE.
Their exact rate was not available on their website, so I reached out to Museums for All and the Omaha Children’s Museum on Twitter. The museum eventually sent me this link with more information about their membership program.

Did you know your Nebraska food stamps card can also do this?!

- Farmer’s Markets and community supported agriculture (CSA) programs can accept EBT.
- Starbucks! EBT can be used at Starbucks locations that are located inside a grocery store.
- Subway! EBT cards may be usable at Subway locations inside gas stations as long as the sandwich isn’t toasted. This isn’t always the case, but it has been possible on occasion.
- Schwan’s Trucks also accept EBT benefits. Order online, by phone or on the app. Please note that food stamps benefits will not cover the delivery charge. Make sure you can pay the delivery charge before you order! If you can’t pay the delivery charge, you will not be allowed to keep your order.

You’re very welcome, Reshima!
Recently I attempted to buy a cold beef enchilada from the deli case at Family Fare in Omaha and it was not accepted on my SNAP card. I was told by one of the managers that it was a taxable product and therefore NOT EBT benefit eligible. But I had purchased this same item on April 30, 2017. And I have a receipt to prove that. Did new rules or laws pass in Nebraska that recently took effect?
Hello, Randall! I looked and I wasn’t able to see any law changes. A lot of employees (including management) don’t fully understand the EBT laws, which are made at the federal level. I would assume that it’s a human error and not a legal change. I’m sorry!
I recently applied for SNAP in Nebraska. My income is $775 a month from Social Security and I have $100 in the bank. When I was homeless I was only approved for $16.00 a month and now that I rent a room and pay $350 rent and $50 utilities each month, the amount I receive is still only $50.00 a month. I know homeless people who receive $940 on their food stamp card. When I called to ask, the Snap lady said it’s because I don’t have expenses beyond my car (worth under $500), some medical bills, my cell phone and everything else.
Is that a way I can get the full amount?
Hey, Tia! I’m out of the office until next week but when I get back I’ll definitely look into this for you. There must be some sort of solution because that doesn’t sound right at all.
