Lexington

The landscape around Lexington is a broad, level reach of the Platte River valley, whose fertile soils and irrigation have shaped both the city’s form and its agricultural economy. Set in south-central Nebraska, Lexington is the seat of Dawson County and a service centre for farms and cattle country across the valley. Beef processing is also a major local employer, while a substantial Latino community contributes to the city’s food and business life. The Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles holds a varied collection of historic vehicles, providing a distinctive stop beyond the main highway.
