We are all delighted by the bustle of big cities and are in awe of the spectacle of pure countryside. However, there is an in-between that also has an undeniable lure: the small town.
There’s something utterly charming about visiting a small community. After all, they offer plenty of peace and quiet, and typically have unique local customs and celebrations that make them worth a visit. Nebraska is a state dotted with such small towns, although one in particular stands out: Seward.
Seward, Nebraska may have a population under 2,000, but it also boasts a quaint historic downtown, an amazing winery, and a celebration that’s known statewide: its massive 4th of July celebration that’s even given the town its own unique nickname.
Seward, Nebraska is known as the 4th of July City, thanks to its massive celebration it’s hosted since the 1800s.
