Hemingford is only:
10 miles from the Box Butte Reservoir, 
45 miles from the Fur Trade Museum at Chadron, 
60 miles from Chimney Rock and Scott's Bluff where ruts from the Oregon trail can be seen, 
55 miles from Fort Robinson and Crawford,
 and 20 miles from Alliance with its restored city fountain.
Hunters come for pheasant and deer in the fall.
