Henderson combines Nebraska’s open agricultural horizons with the close-knit character of a small York County community, reflecting its position in the state’s south-central plains. Grain fields and shelterbelts shape the level terrain around town, part of the farming country between Lincoln and Grand Island. Henderson’s Mennonite roots are preserved at the Henderson Mennonite Heritage Park, an outdoor historical site recalling the settlers who established the community in the 1870s. Interstate 80, one of Nebraska’s principal cross-country routes, runs south of town. See how Henderson fits into the wider York County plains by browsing webcams nearby.
