Thayer County, Nebraska
Thayer County sits down in south-central Nebraska, right on the Kansas border. Hebron is the county seat. The county’s mostly farmland.
They’ve got the world’s largest porch swing in Hebron. It has a seat that’s 32 feet long. No kidding. It’s in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The population’s been shrinking for years. But those who stay are deeply attached to the land. The Little Blue River runs through here and it creates some nice spots for fishing and camping.
