One hundred years ago, on Armistice Day 1922, a parade of veterans marched from downtown Lincoln to the Capitol along spectator lined streets to join the thousands of Nebraskans on hand to witness the cornerstone of the new Capitol being set in place. Veterans spanning service from the Civil War to the Great War were there to witness the dedication of the Capitol to “THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY.”

The Nebraska Capitol Commission and the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs invite you to celebrate the centennial of the laying of the cornerstone of the capitol of Nebraska.
