The town is the seat of one of Nebraska's largest wheat-producing counties. Manufacturing, trade and oil production also are important. Preserving Sidney's past is the Fort Sidney Complex. The restored Post Commander's Home, 1108 6th Ave., is furnished in period, and the Married Officers' Quarters, 1 block north, has been converted into a museum featuring military, pioneer and Native American artifacts. Other noteworthy structures are the powder house and the fort's original church.
