Marking Nebraska: Our (Mostly) Hidden Monuments

The rich and diverse history and heritage of the state of Nebraska as told through its often secluded historical monuments and markers is the subject of a presentation at Fort Hartsuff Historical Park for Sunday, June 6, at 3pm in the Enlisted Men's Barracks. 

Marking Nebraska: Our (Mostly) Hidden Historical Monuments by historian Jeff Barnes is a review of the state's earliest historical markers, from setting its borders to marking its trails to honoring its people.  Drawing from his site visits and photographs collected from across the state, Barnes shares some of the more interesting, colorful, and event controversial ways Nebraskans told their stories through boulders, tablets, plaques, and statues.
