home base, whether for fishing or hunting, must have all the qualities of home, which is why the southeastern Nebraska town of Tecumseh is the perfect for spring snow goose hunting. Located about an hour and a half northwest of Missouri's Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, this area of the state is a stopover point for thousands of snow geese each spring. It's also home to a number of eateries, including Frazier's Cafe, serving delicious home-cooked meals, including the cod fish dinner or the local favorite, chicken-fried steak. Walk along the old bricks of the historic downtown town square to see the Johnson County Courthouse. The Romanesque, Classic Revival-style building was completed in 1889 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Continue your step through time at the Ramsey Family Fountain, a restored 1938 soda fountain complete with antique furnishings. It specializes in old-fashioned frozen favorites and has a unique photographic tribute to the Johnson County veterans. Bring home a gift from Liz's Flower Shop, which features a wide assortment of home decor, and visit southeast Nebraska's oldest floral shop, Tecumseh Floral and Gift, established in 1950. Then get back on the road to find snows. With a conservation season that doesn't close until April 15 in the east zone, Tecumseh becomes the perfect home base for taking an occasional break during your trip down south.
