Welcome to The Frontier
Brewed in Cozad, Nebraska
by John J. Cozad, this town on the edge of the Great Plains was carved out of the vast prairie by settlers drawn to the promise of opportunity. It was a place where the rugged individualism of the West met the communal ethos of homesteaders, where cowboys and farmers alike navigated the challenges of a land both unforgiving and bountiful.
Today, The Frontier Frau celebrates the town’s pioneering spirit that connects past and present.

The Robert Henri Museum
Robert Henri, born Robert Henry Cozad in 1865, was a pivotal figure in American art, whose roots trace back to the frontier town of Cozad, Nebraska. Henri’s artistic journey took him from the plains of Nebraska to the art schools of Philadelphia and Paris, and eventually to New York City, where he became a leading figure in the Ashcan School and an influential art instructor.
His legacy in Cozad is preserved at the Robert Henri Museum, which houses a significant collection of his works and personal items, offering a window into the life of a man who captured the American spirit on canvas.
