Jefferson County, Nebraska
Southeast Nebraska is home to Jefferson County. Fairbury is the county seat, and is situated in the center. It’s conveniently on US Highway 136.
The old town square is something to see. Brick buildings, a courthouse that looks like it’s from another century. The Blue River cuts through Fairbury and the entire county.
The county’s got more than its fair share of parks. People here like their outdoor recreation. Fishing, hiking, camping. But agriculture is king. It’s common to see corn and soybean fields grown here.
