Home > Places > Cass County
There aren’t many places where you can see America’s most technologically advanced aircraft, view megafauna herds, sleep in a luxurious canvas tent and attend a small-town Corn King coronation. Actually, Cass County may be the only place on earth where you can see and do all of that, and more. With 16 villages and cities ideally situated between Lincoln and Omaha, Cass County and its 26,000 residents enjoy the best of both the city and the country. Some of Cass County’s tourism jumping-off points include I-80 Exit 426 at Ashland, Union, Elmwood, Manley and Plattsmouth.
