About Wymore

Tucked into southeast Nebraska along the Big Blue River and Big Indian Creek, Wymore offers quiet, small-town living just a short drive south of Beatrice. The community got its start in the 1880s as a bustling railroad hub, springing up almost overnight when the lines expanded. Today, the town moves at a relaxed, friendly pace, featuring quiet residential streets, green parks, and easy access to outdoor spots along the water.

Wymore is also known as the Welsh Capital of the Great Plains, a legacy celebrated at the Great Plains Welsh Heritage Centre and across local landmarks. That proud history carries through into the town's welcoming spirit today. Residents come together each June for the Sam Wymore Days festival, gather around the local Southern School District, and enjoy an affordable, peaceful environment where neighbors look out for one another.
