Details

The history of this land begins long before 1776. Before Nebraska was a state, people had been living here for thousands of years. Their stories, knowledge, and connections to the land formed the foundation of Nebraska’s story and endure today.

The Louisiana Purchase brought this land into the United States, sparking change, opportunity, and conflict. It also changed the trajectory of the land’s future.

The Our Nebraska exhibition at the Nebraska History Museum invites you to explore 250 years of layered, interconnected histories—the land, the people who have called it home, and their impact on our state, our nation, and beyond.
