All About Nebraska

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission

Towering 800 feet above the North Platte River, Scotts Bluff has served as a landmark for peoples from Native Americans to emigrants on the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails to modern travelers. Learn about the geological, paleontological, and human history.

Homestead National Historical Park
The Homestead Act of 1862 was one of the most significant and enduring events in the westward expansion of the United States. By granting 160 acres of free land to claimants, it allowed nearly any man or woman a "fair chance." Students can learn about The Homestead Act, the impact it had on new and indigenous residents, and how use of it changed over time before the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ended homesteading.

Malcolm X Birthsite
Malcolm X is one of the most pivotal figures in civil rights history. His powerful words captured the attention of a country, encouraging empowerment and inspiring pride in black heritage. Learn about his work and legacy through contemporary videos and recent lectures. Videos include television interviews and a debate with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parents should judge the suitability of each piece of media for their particular students.

Nebraska Legislature
Nebraska's legislature is unique among all state legislatures in the nation because it has a single-house system. Capitol Classroom is a unique curriculum that teaches students about the nation’s only unicameral legislature by providing a committee hearing simulation, floor debate simulation and public policy development exercise. Students can also learn how the state moved from a bicameral to a unicameral model under the Other Resources tab.
