About Western

Western is a quiet Saline County village of around 200 people, tucked into the rolling farmland of southeast Nebraska. The town grew up in the late 1800s as a railroad stop, and today it keeps that same calm, unhurried rhythm. It is the sort of place where neighbors look out for each other, open space is easy to find, and everyday life moves at a comfortable, peaceful pace.
