THE NEBRASKA STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Founded September 25, 1878

The Nebraska State Historical Society was founded September 25, 1878, at a public meeting held in the Commercial Hotel at Lincoln. About thirty well known citizens of the State were present. Robert W. Furnas was chosen president and Professor Samuel Aughey, secretary. Previous to this date, on August 26, 1867, the State Historical and Library Association was incorporated in order to receive from the State the gift of the block of ground, now known as Haymarket Square. The original Historical Association held no meetings. It was superseded by the present State Historical Society.
