Robinson State Park campground for a night and visit the Fur Trade Museum in Chadron along that highway.
The Togwotee Pass is not a problem, then? Do you have any knowledge of any the routes E of the Togwotee Pass to the eastern border with Nebraska? I am considering 26/287 to Muddy Gap, 220 to Casper, I25 to Orin, then 20 into Nebraska.
But, if you are really interested in Western history, an alternative across western Nebraska would be to stay on I-25 to US 26. Then you can stop at Ft. Laramie NHS, Scott's Bluff National Monument, and Chimney Rock NHS to see some of the most famous stops and landmarks along the Oregon-California Trail. Admittedly that route gets you to I-80 sooner, but can certainly be fun for history buffs.
Enjoy the trip!
