Just like George Gershwin’s song for the 1935 opera,
Porgy and Bess, it’s almost summer time, when thoughts turn to picnics, barbeques, and outdoor fun in general.
Photographs in
Nebraska Memories have captured these pursuits over the years. People barbequing, friends and/or families gathering for picnics, fun playing badminton, baseball or foot racing–these have all been (and continue to be) part of Nebraska’s heritage.
