An example of how Nebraska Memories can help you: Do you have patrons interested in President’s Day? In addition to naming the state capital after President Abraham Lincoln, statues of Lincoln have been erected in, on or by various Nebraska buildings over the years. Here’s one tribute to President Lincoln at the Nebraska State Normal School at Kearney (
Abraham Lincoln statue in Auditorium, University of Nebraska at Kearney collection, 1917).
Check out other representations of
President Lincoln in Nebraska Memories and browse or search for images of the city of Lincoln.
