Nebraska State Historical Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nebraska State Historical Society is a Nebraska state agency, originally founded in 1878 to "encourage historical research and inquiry, spread historical information ... and to embrace alike aboriginal and modern history." It was designated a state institution in 1883, and upgraded to a state agency per 1994 state legislation.
Operations of the society include Chimney Rock National Historic Site in the state's panhandle, the Fort Robinson Museum in Crawford, and the Museum of Nebraska History at 15th & 'P' streets in downtown Lincoln.
The agency's mission statement is: "[to] collect, preserve, and open to all, the histories we share."
