Lebanon, Nebraska, is a small village in southeastern Red Willow County, Nebraska.

My great grandparents, Johann Diedrich and Helene (Hagens) Willers immigrated from Oldenburg, Germany and settled on a homestead near Lebanon in the late 1890's. It was there that their four children were born and raised. Below are some scans of scenes from Lebanon.
