Groton is a friendly, small prairie city of about 1,380 people with a tight-knit community, local pubs and a community center—an easy, low-stress place to enjoy multi-week contracts while still having basic amenities close by.
You’re only about 20 miles (roughly a 20–25 minute drive) from Aberdeen, a regional hub with restaurants, events, family attractions like Storybook Land and plenty of weekend options if you want more to do away from a quiet base.
