Lincoln, Nebraska
The City of Lincoln is the capital and the second most populous city of the U.S state, of Nebraska. Lincoln is also the county seat of Lancaster County and the home of the University of Nebraska.The city's growth over the years has led to development of the surrounding land, much of which is composed of gently rolling hills. In recent years, Lincoln's northward growth has encroached on the habitat of the endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle
Lincoln Nebraska State Capitol
The state legislature of Nebraska is unique and unusual in that it is the only one that is unicameral and nonpartisan. Open to the public year-round, the Nebraska State Capitol building was completed in 1932 and is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture, as well as a radical departure from the traditional design of government buildings.
Extensive interior art provides a symbolic representation of the history of Nebraska, its government, and its people. The observation deck on the 14th floor provides views of the entire city. Free guided tours last 30 minutes (summer) or 55 minutes (for school groups).
Things To Do
Visit the historic Haymarket area downtown is a popular center for dining, shopping and entertainment. The old warehouse district has been restored and is now home to many restaurants, specialty and antique shops, galleries and other businesses, and is a lively place both day and evening.
The capitol building is worthy of a visit. Its interior includes thousands of carvings, paintings and mosaics detailing Nebraskan history.
