NEBRASKA FUN FACT

There is considerable sandstone suitable for building purposes, both near Decatur and at Tekamah. Although quite soft and friable when first taken out of the quarry, it hardens on exposure to the air, and, in a few weeks after such exposure, makes very good foundation stone. The seam at Tekamah, where it is worked, is twenty feet thick, and it crops out on both sides of Tekamah Creek for considerable distance.

The posted coordinates are bogus.
