History Nebraska, formerly known as the Nebraska State Historical Society, was established in 1878 by citizens dedicated to preserving the stories of Nebraska's diverse population, including indigenous and immigrant communities. As a state institution, History Nebraska continues to document and share the rich history of the region through its collections, educational programs, and events. Named after U.S. Senator George Norris, the Senator George Norris State Historic Site in McCook, NE, showcases the legacy of a public servant who championed rural electrification and advocated for a one-house Unicameral legislature. The site, including Norris's former home and furnishings, serves as a tribute to his enduring impact on Nebraska and the nation as a whole.Generated from the website
