There are several cabins and fishing resorts scattered along the Platte for visiting fisherman. Honor is located between Lake Ann and Beulah on US 31, has a bank restaurant, post office, gas station, and some novelty shops. Honor was founded in 1895. For some years, it was a major logging town. It incorporated as a village in 1914
