Diverse Origins sponsored by Cub Scouting at the Nebraska State Capitol
This event brings multiple groups together to present visitors about various aspects of Nebraska history including ancient biology, Native Americans (learning the story of Standing Bear), pioneers, the underground railroad, civil war veterans, immigrants, and art and architecture of the Capitol building.
The Nebraska150 website notes we will be keeping an Honor Guard at the Lincoln statue and teaching visitors how to drill and march like a Civil War soldier.

PDC Bill Dean will have his civil war display set up at the Capitol and is asking for those that can attend to be there in uniform by 1 pm.

Venture Scout 21 Group (Robert and Ian Cuevas are members) and former SUVCW member Ron Rockenbach are helping with the event.

Nebraska Statehood Day – Celebrating 150 Years
The Department of Nebraska Sons of Union Veterans (in period uniform) will hoist the colors (37-star flag) on a newly-installed flag pole at the Thomas P. Kennard State Historic Site to open the ceremonies for Nebraska Statehood Day. The house will be open to the public for tours, free of charge, until 4 p.m.
The house built by Nebraska’s first secretary of state, Thomas Kennard, was constructed in 1869 at a time when Lincoln was the fledgling capital of the first state to join the Union after the Civil War. It was designated the Nebraska Statehood Memorial in 1967 in honor of the state’s centennial. For the last fifty years the house has been administered by the Nebraska State Historical Society and interprets both the statehood story and Victorian life on the prairie.
