Where we are
Located in the friendly town of Cambridge,
Nebraska (pop. 1041), just an hour south of Interstate-80 and halfway
between Omaha, NE and Denver, CO on historic US Route 6 & 34.
We like to call Cambridge The Village on the Green to
paint a picture of a small town bordered on the north and east with
a lovely golf course and picturesque park, a tree-lined river on
the south, and completely surrounded by natures scenic beauty and
charming farms. The beautiful Medicine Creek State Recreation Area,
just 10 minutes north of town, accesses 6,000 land acres of nature
conserved and Harry Strunk Lake, a definite best-kept secret for
enjoyment of all water sports with 2,000 acres of water and 29 miles
of shoreline.
The town is most fortunate in its location,
all the canyons, divides and natural roadways lead to Cambridge,
which is laid out upon a charming plateau at the junction of the
Republican River and Medicine Creek. On every side of the town lies
a rich agricultural region large enough and productive enough to
sustain a city of 4,000 people. The water supply is abundant and
of the best quality. The soil is a dark, rich loam, more easily
worked than any other on earth. Cambridge Clarion 1893
