Mead Lumber was founded in 1910 by Morton B. Mead in Ashland, Nebraska. During the early 1930's his three sons Lyman, Emerson, and Wilbur were working at the lumber company. In 1934 they expanded to Columbus, Nebraska where the general office is now located, along with a retail site.
Mead Lumber's growth over the past ninety years has been based on providing quality service and products to each store's community and surrounding area. Today, our experienced people and competitive pricing continues to provide a strong foundation for growth. Mead Lumber is currently seeking more retail sites in order to better serve contractors and consumers in the Midwest.
