Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Wymore, NE

Wymore is a city in Gage County in southeastern Nebraska, adjoining the city of Blue Springs to its north near the confluence of Big Indian Creek and the Big Blue River.

Wymore was platted in 1881 as a railroad town on land donated by Sam Wymore, on the main line of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad across southern Nebraska.

Wymore became known as the "Welsh Capitol of the Great Plains" after generations of immigrants from Wales made their home there.

Welsh settlers in Wymore founded a Welsh-language church, school, and cemetery and preserved Welsh traditions of poetry, dance, and music in their daily life.

The Wymore Welsh Heritage Project, founded in 2000, maintains a museum and genealogical archive and one of the largest Welsh-language libraries in North America.

Bethel Cemetery in Wymore is the resting place of many of the city's Welsh founders, with tombstones dating to the mid-to-late 19th century bearing inscriptions in Welsh.

The Pleasantview Schoolhouse, a fully restored country schoolhouse from the first decade of the 20th century, is now a museum hosting a "Day at a Country School" program with teachers in traditional Welsh costume.

In the early 20th century Wymore boasted an electric tram, though its railroad depot was later burned down as part of a firefighting training exercise.

The 2020 census counted 1,377 people in Wymore.

At the 2010 census, Wymore's 1,457 residents lived in 647 households, and the median age in the city was 46.8 years.
