Howard County, Nebraska
Howard County sits right in the heart of Nebraska. St. Paul is the biggest town. Yep, all of 2,300 people. Farms dominate the landscape. Corn, soybeans, you name it.
The Loup River runs through here, attracting kayakers and canoers when the weather’s nice. The county fair is a big deal. Everyone turns up.
There’s a sense of history here, too. Old buildings line the main streets. People take pride in preserving them. It’s quiet living, but that’s how the locals like it.
