Named after the popular former president Abraham Lincoln, Nebraska's capital
city bears many places of importance. The State Capitol building dominates the
area between 14th and 16th streets and H and K streets; the central tower, a
fine example of modern architecture, rises to 400 feet in height with a bronze
statue called The Sower atop. Tours of the capitol building are offered regularly.
The Lincoln campus of the University of Nebraska is overcome each fall by the
enthusiasm of Cornhuskers football fans—every game since November of 1962
has been a sellout. When visiting Lincoln be sure to stop downtown at the Historic
Haymarket District, an expansive shopping, dining and entertainment area. Other
attractions of interest in Lincoln include the National Museum of Roller Skating
and the Folsom Children's Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
