Harlan County, Nebraska
The southwest part of Nebraska is home to Harlan County. It’s not a place you’d stumble upon by accident. You’ve got to want to be there.
The county’s big draw is Harlan County Lake, Nebraska’s second largest lake. Locals call it the “Gem of the Plains”. It’s great for fishing, boating, and camping.
Summers are hot and winters are harsh. But the people are tough. They’ve weathered droughts and blizzards. The towns are small, but the hearts are big. Everyone knows your name here. And your business, too, if we’re being honest.
