Hubbell, NE

Hubbell, NE

A Historic Railroad and Farming Community in Thayer County, Nebraska

Hubbell offers up authenticity with The Acreage Steakhouse, this real steakhouse serves some of the best prime rib, baby back ribs and beef brisket around. Hubbell may have been birthed by the Railroad years ago, now  it has turned its focus more clearly on agriculture.  One of the things that drew people to Hubbell was the good supply of water found on Rose Creek, so-named because of the wild roses that grew along its banks.  At that time, they used it for water power, and both a grist mill and a saw mill were established.  Hubbell is a rural southern village in Thayer County, Nebraska that continues to evolve and grow mainly as an agricultural area with dry land and irrigated crop land mostly raising corn, soybeans, milo, and alfalfa.
