Small towns in Nebraska have gotten a bad reputation for being boring or lacking all of the amenities that residents need. If there’s one town that disproves all of that, it’s St. Paul. Located in Howard County, this itty-bitty city is packed with things to do and see, and the folks you’ll meet there are some of the friendliest in the state.

Welcome to St. Paul, a little town with a whole lot of personality.
