The Mowry Bluff Archeological Site, in Frontier County, Nebraska, near Cambridge, Nebraska, is a 10-acre (4.0 ha) archeological site that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Its Smithsonian trinomial designation is 25 FT 35. It is a village site that was listed for its information potential.[1] A "house mound" at the site was explored, and the site was described, by archeologist W.
