In the extreme southwest corner of the county, 33 miles from Kimball, rises the highest point in Nebraska. Art Henrickson and Claude Alden discovered the highest point in October 1951 using a WWI altimeter. A marker was installed by the Kimball-Banner Chamber of Commerce in 1971. It was later verified by the federal government and recognized by the state and mapping companies.

The Fraternal Hall, located at 2nd & Chestnut Streets, was built in 1904 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum showcases an incredible arrowhead collection by O.E. Forsling as well as artifacts from Kimball County and the surrounding area.
