    The Nebraska History Museum does a great job with the different exhibits I have seen the few times I have been there. Before this weekend, my last trip to the museum was 4 years ago as a UNL undergrad. This time around, I was impressed with the extensive Lincoln history and the Bison exhibit on display right now (March 2022) as well as the Women’s Suffrage exhibit. Plan on 1-2 hours to see everything this museum has to offer.

    Staff is super friendly. Probably take an hour if you read all information. Little gift shop.
