36 MORE Famous People You Might Not Know Are From Nebraska
Nebraska has turned out so many shining stars that we couldn’t fit them all into just one list – see part one here. In our second list of famous people from Nebraska, we look at 36 more folks who were born here or spent part of their lives here (and we’re claiming those partial-life residents because we’re pretty sure they all want people to know they lived in Nebraska).
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
