Nebraska Information
About Nebraska
Straddling the Great Plains and the Midwestern United States, Nebraska is characterized by treeless prairie on one side, gently rolling hills on the other. With ties to the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition, Oregon Trail and the transcontinental railroad, Nebraska has a far-reaching and long-stemmed history. Nowadays, the state may be better known for its Omaha steaks, Reuben sandwiches and Cornhusker football games. Coupled with the beauty of the Nebraska skyline, and residents who are as friendly as they come, the Cornhusker state brings unexpected elements of surprise.
