About Bern

Set among the rolling fields of northeast Kansas near the Nebraska border, Bern was founded in the late 1880s by Swiss immigrants who named the town after their capital city. Today, it remains a quiet, friendly community in Nemaha County with deep agricultural roots and a tight-knit, small-town atmosphere. For those looking for peaceful country living, wide-open spaces, and neighbors who look out for one another, Bern offers a calm and welcoming pace of life.
