Osborne has so much to offer in one space. Nestled right along the Solomon Valley River, Osborne is a haven to nature lovers and history buffs alike. Did you know that Osborne is located just north of the North American Geodetic Center and just south of the center of the United States? Guess you could say we are the center of attention!

Osborne is located at the junctions of HWY 24 and 281, just 45 minutes north of I-70. The town is rich with history, arts and entertainment. The town offers a little bit of everything from outdoor activities to tours of our historic town.
