NEW! Nebraska Before Statehood: Before the Louisiana Purchase Nebraska wasn't always Nebraska. For over a century, it was the middle of a vast territory known as French and Spanish Louisiana. We will look back at the Indigenous history of Nebraska, early European exploration and the events leading up to 1803, when Napoleon sold the territory to the United States with the Louisiana Purchase.

NEW! Nebraska Before Statehood: The Unorganized Territory
For 51 years, the future Nebraska had no defined borders, no laws and no name other than “the Unorganized Territory.”
The few Americans who saw it were a motley assortment of fur trappers, missionaries, wagon train pioneers, artists and scientists — and most of them were traveling through on their way elsewhere. Meanwhile, Native American life was transformed through the fur trade and the beginning of the Treaty Era. Join us for a tale that starts with the return of Lewis and Clark and ends with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

Join us as we cover topics such as the displacement of the eastern Nebraska tribes, the Omaha Claim Club and territorial politics, the impact of the Colorado Gold Rush, Nebraskan contributions to the Civil War and the arrival of the transcontinental railroad.
