About Barneston

Tucked along the Big Blue River just north of the Kansas border, Barneston is a peaceful rural village with fewer than a hundred residents. Deep roots tie the community to its 19th-century origins as the Otoe Agency, but today it is mostly known for quiet gravel roads, wide-open skies, and a close-knit country atmosphere. If you are looking for genuine small-town solitude in southeast Nebraska, Barneston offers a very calm, unhurried pace of life.
