Steele City Historical DistrictSteele City Historical District

Just 12 miles southeast of Fairbury on Hwy 8 lies the little town of Steele City, Nebraska along the Little Blue River. The Jefferson County Historical Society owns and maintains four historic buildings that offer visitors a glimpse of Steele City's past - circa 1900 stone blacksmith's shop in working condition, circa 1902 stone livery stable, circa 1880's stone Baptist church and brick bank museum. The buildings are open to the public on Sundays, 2-4 pm Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Living History in NebraskaEach summer, visitors have three opportunities to visit Steele City during Living History Weekends, held in May, July and September.  Watch old-fashioned crafters demonstrate their arts, from soap making, rug weaving to blacksmithing and wagon repair.  402-729-5131 or www.jeffersoncountyhistory.com

The local watering hole, The Salty Dog Saloon, is a great place to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger. A Biker-friendly bar, locals know that The Salty Dog Saloon is the place for great food and good times. Take a look at the menu.

The third weekend in September, Steele City plays host to thousands of bargain hunters and history buffs who come for the annual Steele City Flea Market and Old Farm Machinery Show, sponsored by the Jefferson County Historical Society. Rain or shine, this event features hundreds of vendors, old time blacksmithing and horseshoeing demonstrations, plus a working saw and shingle mill. For more information, contact Denise Anderson (402) 729-5131 or email inquiries to fairburyridepot@windstream.net.

The first weekend in June, The Salty Dog Saloon sponsors the Steele City Ride-In Bike Show.

This is a ride-in show so come for the show and stay for the weekend!
