About Farnam

With fewer than 200 residents, Farnam is a quiet village in southwestern Dawson County that got its start during the 1880s rail boom. Early settlers built the community around farming and the train line, and that agricultural heritage still shapes daily life today. A historic grain elevator still rises over the skyline, while peaceful residential streets offer a relaxed, close-knit environment for anyone looking to escape the noise and settle into true small-town Nebraska, all within an easy drive of Lexington.
