At the January
meeting of the Logan County Genealogical & Historic Society in
Lincoln, members and guests enjoyed an evening of looking back at
Lincoln's past.
The
society has a nice and sizeable collection of photos of the
community as it would have looked in the late 1800s through the mid
1900s.
One such photo is being shown by LCG&HS member Diane Osborn
depicting Broadway Street at the corner of Kickapoo and looking
westward toward the railroad tracks. One can easily recognize the
building in the foreground of the photo as that currently occupied
by National Rent to Own.
Other photos included Lincoln street scenes dating back to horse and
carriage and streetcar track days, an 1893 overhead photo of the city
of Lincoln, a 1955 aerial view of Lincoln State School, photos of
Lincoln Lakes, and other pictures and collectibles.
