Mullen, NE

Ireland

Mullen is a small ranching community along Highway 2 in Nebraska's Sandhills, about 150 miles northwest of Grand Island. The town of 478 serves as Hooker County's seat, surrounded by the rolling grass-covered dunes that make this region unique. Highway 2 provides the main east-west route through town, connecting to Thedford and Alliance. The 1928 red brick courthouse stands as the area's most prominent landmark, visible for miles across the prairie.
