Republic County: FUN FACT

In the early 1800s, the Pawnee tribe settled in what is now Republic County, where they lived in 50 dome-shaped earth lodges. In 1967, archeologists excavated and uncovered half the village, which originally housed 2,000+ Pawnee. You can visit the Pawnee Indian Museum and experience an authentic earth lodge.
