Tekamah is the seat of Burt County and a river-town with an easy pace, just an hour from Omaha. A classic courthouse square anchors locally owned shops and cafes, and community life hums with seasonal festivals, youth programs, and well-kept parks. History buffs gravitate to the Burt County Museum, where pioneer-era buildings and rotating exhibits tell the region’s story in vivid detail. Weekend ball games, parades, and farmers markets bring neighbors together.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. Anglers and paddlers head for the Missouri River or the serene waters of Summit Lake State Recreation Area, known for fishing, trails, and wide-open sunsets. Kids have room to roam at city playgrounds and ballfields, and the library and arts groups offer year-round enrichment for all ages.
Families appreciate the strong local schools at Tekamah-Herman Public Schools, with small class sizes, Tiger pride, and programs that span academics, agriculture, and the arts. Daily needs are close at hand, and expanded shopping, dining, and healthcare are a short drive in Blair or west to Fremont. Whether you’re exploring a first home, seeking more acreage, or ready to right-size, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with trusted real estate pros who know Tekamah inside and out.
