We’ve Moved!
We are excited to announce that NBO has officially relocated to the historic Ferguson House! Built in 1911 by William and Myrtle Ferguson, this landmark home was ahead of its time, featuring modern amenities like electricity, gas, and a large ice box. As we settle into this remarkable space, we look forward to blending the charm of the past with the technology of the future—bringing broadband to all of Nebraska from this storied location.
