Nebraska Ghost Towns

Nebraska’s ghost towns are scattered across the prairies and sandhills like lost monuments to the homesteader’s dream. The land rush of the 1880s filled Nebraska with hopeful farming communities, and the drought years of the 1890s and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s emptied many of them. Railroad towns bypassed when the lines were rerouted and small communities that lost their post offices and schools to consolidation add to Nebraska’s collection of forgotten places.
