Located in the rolling hills of rural Nebraska, Schram Village is a unique and fascinating destination for those who enjoy exploring the lesser-known aspects of the Midwest. This small town is situated approximately 30 miles north of Ashland, a city along the historic Lincoln Highway. Established by German-Russians, Schram Village was an unincorporated community characterized by close-knit residents, sparse infrastructure, and ties to farming traditions.

Historically, this agri-cultural community dates back to 1890, founded by settlers originating from regions in modern-day Russia. For decades, Schram Village became home to groups of Germans fleeing oppression in Eastern Europe, then relocated to America's countryside. Fiercely industrious, their communities gave rise to a rich sense of heritage, distinct history, and pride in their agricultural livelihoods. Strong example of a settler presence, during Nebraska's westward expansion: close by communities centered around Yutan, about seven miles away from Schram Village.

These early immigrants sought work close to the fertile soils as available large bodies and to grow and raise livelihood through smallhold farming including major staple of livestock agriculture: farm poultry– primarily related in fowl, more chickens than any other wild migratory other, such smaller ducks. Residents primarily reared chickens over ducks due to an ease of habitat care more needed in ducks. Major growth areas for chicken were along streams, marsh areas or near wildlife conservation natural wetlands; stream-banked river ecosystems as the farms centered generally near such. Strong example is located in Yutan conservation lands nearby Wabash Wildlife Area National refuges water wildlife and animal river ecosystems such streams.

Today remnants of Schram's farming histories can be seen through scattered pioneer structures strewn in isolated corn areas where once thriving communities have little evidence of remnants of human existence – unremarkable roadside shrines of simple worn grave markers seemingly forgotten like pieces in rural Midwest long winding stretches near dusty less-traveled highways out to blank farmlands or long forgotten towns one abandoned more still lived life areas.

Life signs have remained evident in farm activities, such strong remnant agricultural legacies witnessed by multiple homes around areas surrounding village vicinity area remains one out last best preserved regionally standing strong long standing rural character – not seen elsewhere – largely untouched: farmlife homes farmlands corn patches long acres rural values – and that feel of rural values home. This rural, serene scenery allows observers to gaze into vast history remnants as once present in similar town values less distinct to observer however feeling when visiting rural America towns untouched – although just off limits but away sight – not rural town just country views given across plains.

For local history enthusiasts visiting the only museum several miles in towns: historic cities museum with artifacts is one opportunity – old Ashland historical museum artifacts located – are view of living more than past artifacts – although museum to the remnant of artifacts remains only partial history – the farmlands however remind of America's history of vast areas existing today that, but across stretches of American Midwest landscape open view into areas a lost old state life remain.

Though remains of Schram village are rare, in rural areas remnants still survive offering remnants that more powerful felt among modern out road traveler roadside long pass traveling by: visiting uncharted America away from main tourist area out into stretches of heart America.
