Belvidere: Train Town USA, A Beautiful Farm Community in Thayer County, Nebraska
The second stop on the "ABC Railroad" was surveyed in 1872 at the time when the St.Joseph & Denver City Railroad was being built. The following year a post office was established and given the name "Belvidere," meaning "beautiful to see." Today, Belvidere is a beautiful agricultural community with irrigated crop land producing corn, soybeans, milo, and alfalfa. Most notably Belvidere is home to the Belvidere Whistle Stop train viewing platform.
Also located in Belvidere is the Thayer County Historical Society and Museum, which contains 14 historical buildings and sites that are important to Thayer County's history.
Belvidere and the surrounding area are rich in history dating back to the Indian encampments along the Big Sandy Creek.
