Celebrating our country

In the mid-1800s, Nebraska was still barely touched by settlers migrating West for a new life. Our state was home to the prairies and rivers we see today.

Over the next century, pioneers of all ethnic and religious backgrounds made the journey to Nebraska and chose to settle in its natural beauty.

These future Nebraskans were searching for the American promise of liberty.They dreamed of a home where they would be treated equally despite their diverse backgrounds.
