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 aerial photo of the city of Lincoln, a 1955
aerial view of Lincoln State School, photos of
Lincoln Lakes, and other pictures and collectibles.
