Lemoyne

Nebraska's ghost towns are railroad and homestead towns, spaced every few miles along lines the trains don't run anymore.

Lemoyne is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in northwestern Keith County, Nebraska, United States. As of the 2020 census, Lemoyne had a population of 44. It lies along Nebraska Highway 92 on the northern shore of Lake C.W. McConaughy, 20 miles (32 km) by road north of the city of Ogallala, the county seat of Keith County. Although Lemoyne is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 69146.

The on-the-ground condition of Lemoyne is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Lemoyne is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
