Sarpy County Museum is small but mighty. It provides visitors with a great historical overview of Bellevue – the oldest town in Nebraska – and its surrounding areas. Old First Presbyterian Church is indeed both. Founded in 1856 but modernized with great care, it boasts a thriving community as well as historical archives that will delight visitors and locals alike. Fontanelle Bank, also built in 1856, was constructed mostly of brick and still stands in solid condition. It has a unique and entertaining history, and you won’t want to miss it if you like stories of intrigue and money!
Golfers love the fact that several highly ranked courses are just a short drive from Heritage Ridge, including Tregaron Golf Course and Willow Lakes Golf Course.
