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 as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
