What it’s like
The place. Gordon is a small city in Sheridan County, Nebraska, with a median age a little above the national middle and most homes lived in by their owners. Household incomes are slightly below the county's, and homes are modestly priced. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July; the year brings a fair amount of snow and a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and the building trades also employing people. Across Sheridan County, the largest workplaces include the Gordon-Rushville Public Schools and the Gordon Memorial Hospital District, a critical access hospital. Unemployment is low and has held steady over the past year, and the trip to work is short, so most people are not far from the job.
Things to do. For an outing, the nearest well-known places are all a longer drive away. Plains Theatre is a theatre, Wounded Knee National Historic Landmark is an archaeological site, and Bowring Ranch State Historical Park is a protected area. Each makes a good reason to plan a day trip.
