Beemer, NE

Tucked into the Elkhorn River valley in northeast Nebraska, Beemer is a quiet community of around 600 people.

Originally established in the 1880s as a farming and railroad stop, the village has kept its agricultural roots, centered on a compact downtown, tree-lined residential streets, and nearby farmland.
