Franklin County, Nebraska
Franklin County sits in south-central Nebraska, right along the Kansas border. It’s farm country here, where corn and cattle are king.
The Republican River cuts through the county, giving life to the fields and pastures. Franklin is the county seat. It’s a small town with a big heart.
You’ll find a slower pace here, where neighbors still know each other by name. It’s the kind of place where Friday night football is a community event and the county fair is the highlight of the year.
