Elmwood pairs small-town ease with a surprising literary legacy and easy access to big-city amenities. Set in Cass County, it’s a straightforward drive to jobs, universities, and entertainment in both Lincoln and Omaha. Tree-lined streets, classic Midwestern homes, and open skies make everyday life feel unhurried, while a steady calendar of community events keeps neighbors connected.
Culture takes center stage at the Bess Streeter Aldrich House & Museum, where the celebrated author’s home hosts tours, exhibits, and seasonal programs that draw visitors from across the region. Outdoor lovers gravitate to the MoPac Trail East, which runs through town and offers miles of crushed-limestone pathway for cycling, jogging, and family bike rides—complete with scenic bridges and prairie views. Weekend adventures might include farmers markets, youth ball games, or a quick day trip to arts, dining, and college sports in Lincoln.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel of Murdock next door and the shared commitment to education through Elmwood-Murdock Public Schools. With small class sizes, spirited activities, and strong community support, students find room to thrive from elementary through high school.
