Twenty miles south of Omaha and just minutes from Bellevue, Cass County is comprised of small towns that attract visitors from the entire area. The county is named after Lewis Cass, a brigadier general in the War of 1812 who also served in several political offices, including governor of the Michigan territory, the US Secretary of War, and the US Secretary of State. 
Bordered on the north by the Platte River and on the east by the Missouri River, Cass County is an easy drive for people in both Omaha and Lincoln. Plattsmouth is the county seat, and the largest city in the county. Visitors can find antiques, outlet malls, and a water park to entertain the whole family.
Cass County appeals especially to those who enjoy the outdoors, with its beautiful state parks, including Eugene T. Mahoney State Park, Louisville State Park, and Platte River State Park. In addition to lush campgrounds and fishing spots, the county has many sandpit lakes for boating and swimming.
One of the most important industries in Cass County is the sand, gravel, and limestone operations, with the largest being Ash Grove Cement Company in Louisville. The other dominant industry is farming.
Cass County is a great place to live for those who want access to metro amenities but prefer a more relaxed lifestyle. It's home to the nationally renowned Strategic Air and Space Museum, as well as community theatres, museums, galleries, two racetracks, six golf courses, and a great mix of towns and villages to explore.
