Keystone
Keystone, a village of approximately 74 people, is located on the north bank of the North Platte River in the northeast part of Keith County. Keystone was named for a brand used by prominent rancher W.A. Paxton. Keystone is surrounded by fertile farmland that produces cattle, wheat, corn and hay.
Keystone has the distinction of having the only church of its kind in the world. In the pioneering days of the 1880s, both Catholics and Protestants felt the need for a church. Neither group had the finances to build a church of their own. A dispensation by Pope Leo XIII allowed a church to be built to serve the needs of both groups. A Catholic altar on one end, a Protestant altar on the opposite end and reversible pews served both congregations.
Keystone today is an agriculture-based community and consists of a post office, a library, a bank, three restaurants, a church and a telephone company. The rural Keystone-Lemoyne Fire Department serves the Keystone area.
