Summary
Lake McConaughy’s record-low water levels are exposing the haunting ruins of Lemoyne, a town swallowed by floodwaters in 1941 to build the dam. Once a bustling rail hub, its homes were painstakingly moved uphill—now standing as eerie lodges—and even the ghost of a bank robbery echoes from the Adams Bank & Trust’s vault, where poker chips saved a teller’s life. With no snowpack and irrigation restrictions keeping water low through winter, locals like historian Calvin Berry are getting unprecedented access to this submerged past—a chilling, tangible link to Nebraska’s forgotten history.
