What it’s like
The place. Beemer is a village in Cuming County, Nebraska, small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. Residents are older than in most places, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and snow is part of the season. Summers turn warm, with July the warmest month.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Cuming County, some of the largest workplaces are Franciscan Healthcare, West Point Dairy Products and West Point Public Schools. Unemployment across the county is low, and the county has added jobs over the past year. Incomes across the county run above many parts of the country, and the typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. Rock Creek runs in or beside town and is the closest place to get outdoors. A longer drive away are Schneider's Opera House, a theatre, and the John G. Neihardt State Historic Site, a protected area. The Swedish Heritage Center, a museum, is also a longer drive away.
