In the sand hills of western Nebraska, is a quaint little town village called Arthur.  Its home of about 140 people {the highest yet} and the nation’s smallest courthouse.  The residents use well water and old fashion windmills sprinkle the horizon.

Arthur is a town of six man football and cowboys.  The sandy roads are home of a “tavern” open to all ages and the historic church built of straw bails.  They are lucky enough to have their own public pool, but are forced to close it a few days a week due to a lack of life guards on staff.

They even have a fancy little hotel.  It might not have five stars or A/C, but its better than making the 45 minute drive to Ogallala each night.

I always enjoy my visits to to the town nestled in the hills.  Life seems more quite, simple and slow.  At least for us visitors, anyway.  Its refreshing and a great place to unwind and gather your thoughts.

I’ll share more photos another day.
