The date was April 14, 1912, aboard the luxury liner R.M.S. Tyranic. These passengers were enjoying an exquisite dinner party. There were far more dangers at sea that night than icebergs!!!

Murder Mystery dinner parties are a lot of fun for all. We serve a 4-course meal, one course between each act of the play. There are different themes to choose from, usually requiring 6-10 persons. Costumes are optional but certainly do add to the fun.

The petting zoo is a favorite of persons of all ages. The miniature donkeys tell you if they have been ignored. The warmer months usually bring a newborn. Blaze, the male llama is always a favorite. He loves to give visitors, especially men, a soft dry kiss. He also loves men with beards. There are numerous species of songbirds for the bird enthusiast to see and hear. The private hiking trail and pond are also favorites.

The on premise gift shop offers an eclectic mix. One of the favorites is the wonderful Merino skin care products from New Zealand. It is the answer for all dry skin problems whether it be from weather, diabetes, cancer therapy, dialysis or other skin diseases.  It is now being recommended by the Mayo Clinic and The Shepherds Inn is the only supplier in Nebraska.

Testimonial:  "I have used Merino Lanolin Skin Cream for a number of years and I truly recommend it to everyone.  I have skin problems also, on my feet and ankles due to diabetes.  My Doctor says that whatever I am using on my feet is doing wonders and so for me to keep using it.  It is also wonderful on hands, elbows etc.  It just feels wonderful"  Frances L. Micek, Ord, NE.
