Beat the heat this #ThrowbackThursday!
This week’s highlight is a 9 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ black and white photograph of three children playing in a sprinkler on the grounds of the Nebraska Children’s Home Society. Children at the Nebraska Children’s Home were provided many activities to participate in, including playing in the sprinklers during the hot summer months.
This image is published and owned by the Nebraska Children’s Home Society. Chartered September 1, 1893, the Nebraska Children’s Home Society founders had a vision for a better future and believed that every child deserved a family. NCHS offered support and assistance to parents committed to keeping their family together, and provided foster and adoptive homes for children who could not stay with their families. The commitment to “safe and loving care” in a family setting remains a hallmark of NCHS services.
