Monowi travel guide
Understand
Monowi is somewhat famous due to the fact that it is the smallest incorporated city in the United States, with a population of one. The sole resident, Elsie Eiler, is not only the mayor, but also the local bartender and librarian.
Getting there
By car Monowi is located on Nebraska's State Highway 12, between Grant Street and goes through the slightly busier Broad and Paulina Street.
Getting around
As Monowi is very small, getting around on foot is fine. However, there are a few roads through the town, so moving by car is also an option.
See
Rudy’s Library for reading the wonderful books, and driving through the town and looking at the abandoned buildings, or just stroll around the town.
Do
The town is mostly abandoned, besides Elsie’s home, and it might be good to drive by all the abandoned buildings, or there is Broad Street which has Elsie’s Tavern and Rudy’s Library.
Sleep
Monowi doesn’t really have anywhere to sleep, visit the nearest village, Lynch for a hotel or an Airbnb. If someone wants to become a resident to sleep here, ask the only resident, Elsie Eiler for a house.
