founder of Arbor Day, and includes the mansion, a carriage house, several gardens and an arboretum, a log cabin and
a trail visitors can enjoy. Homestead National Monument of America is in the region, featuring interactive
exhibits, tallgrass prairie, pioneer school, cabin which chronical immigration, migration and American Indian

Much of Southeast Nebraska is agricultural, with some small manufacturers, retail businesses, and healthcare
services. Southeast Nebraska Development District supports business-owners in the region, and many of the small
cities have their own chambers of commerce or economic development organizations. There are eight vineyards in the
region, which are part of the Southeast Nebraska Winery Trail. There are a small number of higher education
institutions in Southeast Nebraska, including Concordia University, Doane University, Peru State College, York
College and Southeast Community College.
Otoe County is located in the western part of Southeast Nebraska, and borders Missouri to the west and the Missouri
River. It is named after the Otoe Indian Tribe who were indigenous to the area. Nebraska City is the largest city
and the county seat, and Syracuse is the other city in the county. There are less than 10 other villages and
census-designated places. The county is largely agricultural, with rolling hills and rich soil, with primary crops
being corn, soybeans, milo (grain sorghum), wheat, other grain crops and apples. Beef cattle is the primary
livestock produced, due to grains grown in the area being excellent sources of feed. University of Nebraska-Lincoln
has an extension in Otoe County, which contributes greatly to its economic development. Otoe county is home of the
origin of Arbor Day, and features Arbor Lodge State Historical Site, the estate of the founder of Arbor Day. Some
other attractions in the county include Civil War Veterans Museum and GAR Hall, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for
the Arts, Kregel Windmill Museum, Mayhew Cabin and John Brown's Cave, Missouri River Basin Lewis and Clark Center,
River Country Nature Center, Steamboat Trace Trail, Wildwood Historic Home and Art Gallery and four golf courses.
There are also several small-town festivals and celebrations, such as Germanfest and Apple Jack Festival, as well
as unique restaurants, bars and shopping in many of the villages.
Nemaha County is also located in the western part of Southeast Nebraska, just south of Otoe County, and also
borders Missouri and the Missouri River to the west. Auburn is the largest city and the county seat, Peru is the
other city in the county, and there are less than 10 other villages and unincorporated communities. The county is
also separated into 13 precincts, which are similar to townships. As with much of the region, the county is
primarily agricultural. Auburn's Economic Development Council makes efforts to promote manufacturing, cultural
tourism, workforce education and entrepreneurship in the area. University of Nebraska-Lincoln also has an extension
in Nemaha County. Cooper Nuclear Station is located in Nemaha County, the largest single-unit electrical generator
in the state. Peru is home to Peru State College, the first and oldest institution in Nebraska, on a beautiful 104
-acre campus known as the "Campus of a Thousand Oaks." Some attractions in Nemaha County include Indian Cave State
Park, the Steamboat Trace Trail, Rotary Island, featuring Optimist Lake, an excellent place for fishing, Boettner
Park, featuring 1854 Didier Log Cabin and a Civil War Memorial Marker, Governor Furnas Arboretum and Whisky Run
Creek Nature Trail, Flatwater Folk Art Museum, the Bailey House, built of brick manufactured in one of the three
brick factories in early Brownville, and Legion Memorial Park. There are several other wildlife management areas
for hunting and fishing along the Missouri and Nemaha Rivers.
