I visited this after attending the Great Plains Bluegrass Association gathering. This is a simple labyrinth of bricks in the grass. At first it was hard to see where the center was. It's nice and shady with benches nearby.

I stopped on my way home from the Southeast Minnesota Bluegrass Association Festival. This labyrinth is in front of a church located in the heart of town. It was quite different from most labyrinths, which are usually located in a green space. Even though it was not as secluded and private, it's still a great labyrinth to walk. A good size -- not too large, but large enough to make it worth a visit. The stones are beautiful, and I like the symbol of the Trinity in the center.

I visited this labyrinth while attending the Southeast Minnesota Bluegrass Association festival. The area around Houston, Minnesota, is picturesque and worth a visit. This labyrinth is rather small and is made of sand. It had rained the day before I visited, and so I ended up walking through water, but of course I had to walk the labyrinth.

This labyrinth is small, but it still a beautiful spot to visit. The adjoining prayer garden has been thoughtfully created by several gardeners and focuses on the Lord's Prayer. A beautiful spot in rural Nebraska for contemplation.

The St. Benedict Center is one of my favorite places. I enjoy walking around the pond and through the Stations of the Cross in the prairie. I have attended several retreats there. I like this labyrinth because there is a bench in the center.

I visited this labyrinth after attending a bluegrass festival in Wichita. According to the Worldwide Labyrinth Locator, this was originally built by St. Alban's Episcopal Church. It's now part of the Art Park. While I personally missed the spiritual emphasis, it's still a great labyrinth, and it demonstrates that labyrinths can be used for many purposes. There were a lot of fun decorations around this labyrinth, and I enjoyed walking it.

I visited this labyrinth on a beautiful February day after attending a bluegrass festival in Wichita. I liked the spiritual emphasis of this labyrinth.
Location: 6955 Old Cheney Road, Lincoln, Nebraska
Description: This is conveniently located and always open. I visit here regularly. Not only is the labyrinth nicely paved and easy to walk, the surrounding area is beautiful, with a pond, trail, benches, and stations of the cross. A nice mini-retreat.
