Dorchester Times Turns Sweet 16



Sixteen years ago this month, the Dorchester Times made its debut

Way back in April 2007, we wrote: "Welcome to the Dorchester Times. This site is dedicated to our town, Dorchester, Nebraska. While we relish our proud past, we also enjoy the blessings of today and eagerly look forward to the future." 


The same holds true today.


Now, 16 years later, the Dorchester blog has gathered an estimated 3 million page views.  


As of April 2023, we are still averaging 14,529 hits a month, even in the era of social media.


Despite being the most widely read website in Saline County, and one of the most popular blogs in Nebraska, we have rejected offers to advertise on our site. 
Why? We've always wanted this site to be your site -- and to focus on the people of Dorchester, celebrating its past and helping plan its future.

To help us keep up on the latest developments in and around town, be sure to email your stories and photos or other relevant material at dorchester.times@gmail.com.

We want to thank our readers, contributors, and even our critics (like good ol' Cynical Richard) as we look forward to the next 16 years.
