Named after Abraham Lincoln and the capital city of the state of Nebraska, Lincoln is a beautiful and historic town with an array of things to see and do for the whole family, great restaurants, and more. Standing sentry over the city is the white stone art deco spire and domed tower of the 400-foot-high Nebraska State Capitol, from which breathtaking panoramic views can be taken in from the observation tower. The Sunken Gardens date back to the 1930s and feature beautifully manicured themed gardens, sculptures, and lily ponds, and the Governor's Mansion boasts an architecturally significant Georgian colonial exterior.
