Syracuse

Among the cities of Nebraska, Syracuse stands out for its setting amid the rolling farm country of Otoe County in the state’s southeast. This is inland prairie rather than the busier Missouri River corridor: fields, shelterbelts and small-town streets shape the surroundings, with Lincoln to the northwest. Syracuse was established in the 1850s and named after Syracuse, New York, reflecting the migration that helped form many Nebraska communities. Its compact centre provides a glimpse of everyday life beyond the state’s larger cities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Syracuse and southeastern Nebraska.
