Holt County is located in north-central Nebraska. Its largest town, O’Neill, is about 75 miles northwest of Norfolk and is known as the Irish Capital of Nebraska. Stuart, Chambers and Atkinson also call this county’s 2,413 square miles home.

The Holt County Historical Society Museum showcases items from Holt County’s storied past. Located across the street to the south from the Golden Hotel in O’Neill, this architecturally significant building was formerly the law office of early O’Neill lawyer and politician Moses Kinkaid.
