NEBRASKA CITY — The tidy brick building just off this city’s main street looks no different from scores of schools and churches built around the turn of the last century.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Grand Army of the Republic donated stained-glass windows commemorating the war to churches across the country. This one, from a former church in Sutton, Nebraska, was donated to the Civil War Museum a few years ago, said Tim Engler, museum director.
Civil War veterans built the Grand Army of the Republic meeting hall in Nebraska City in 1894. It closed in 1935, after the last local veterans died. It reopened as a Civil War museum in 1996. It is a 2023 Nebraska Passport tourism stop.
The Grain Bin Antique Town near North Platte has 20 WWII-era wooden buildings, once used to store grain but repurposed as showrooms for antiques. It's one of the 70 Nebraska Passport tourism stops.
Big Mama's Kitchen and Catering is one of 70 stops on the Nebraska Passport tourism program. The popular North Omaha restaurant is known for its oven-fried chicken and sweet potato pie ice cream.
The Buzz is one of 70 stops in this year's Nebraska Passport program, the annual tourism promotion that encourages Nebraskans and others to visit a variety of places across the state.
