The Nemaha County Court House
 

   

This is the second Nemaha County Court House of this design as  the first one was destroyed by fire and the same design was  rebuilt.  This was repaired after the tornado but it was replaced before too many ye

The City of Seneca furnished the first one as an incentive to the county locating the court house here.  John Smith had changed the trail to Seneca by seeding oats or millet on the trail and directing the trail traffic through Seneca. Insurance paid for the second one which was of the same design and insurance paid for the repair of this one.
