Gosper County, Nebraska
Gosper County is located in south-central Nebraska. It’s not big, but it’s got character. Elwood, the county seat, is home to just a few hundred folks.
But they’re good people. The kind who wave to strangers. Farming’s the name of the game here. If it grows in Nebraska, they probably grow it in Gosper County.
The Johnson Lake State Recreation Area is in the north of the county. Locals love it for fishing and boating. When spring comes, it’s like the whole county breathes a sigh of relief. That first warm day feels like a miracle every time.
