About Wilber

Wilber is a welcoming small town of roughly 1,900 people, serving as the seat of Saline County about 40 minutes south of Lincoln. Officially recognized as the Czech Capital of the US, its cultural roots are easy to spot. Downtown centers around a historic courthouse square, local bakeries, and the landmark Hotel Wilber, giving the community a comfortable Midwestern feel with plenty of distinct character.

That heritage takes center stage every August during Czech Days, a lively annual festival filled with polka bands, colorful parades, and fresh kolaches. Outside of festival weekend, Wilber offers a relaxed, neighborly pace of life, supported by the Wilber-Clatonia school district and a walkable downtown where county offices, local shops, and the Czech Museum are all close at hand.
