Old Lake Nemaha

The Nemaha Lake project was a big part of the life for many people in county. It provided employment for many  people in the area as three Civilian Conservation Corps were placed to work on the project. Many long days were put in as the CCC worked just over a year on it. Many people enjoyed the use of the lake and its facilities, from swimming to boating or even camping out. The links below are articles from 1934 that include the events that led up to the completion of the Nemaha County Lake and Park. Articles below are in chronological from left to right.
