Lincoln is Nebraska’s capital and home to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and those two institutions set much of the city’s rhythm. The statehouse is home to the country’s only unicameral, nonpartisan state legislature, and state agencies, insurers such as Ameritas and Assurity, healthcare systems and a growing technology sector make up a stable and diverse economy. The university draws researchers, recruiters and alumni year-round, especially for the agricultural and engineering programs.
On fall Saturdays, Memorial Stadium becomes one of the largest cities in Nebraska, and Interstate 80 between Omaha and Lincoln fills with red. Lincoln Airport sits just northwest of downtown, so flying private for a game or a statehouse meeting puts you minutes from campus without the drive from Omaha. Visitors come for the State Capitol, the Haymarket’s restaurants and bars, the Sheldon Museum of Art, the mammoths of Morrill Hall and the International Quilt Museum, along with Pinnacle Bank Arena concerts and the Sunken Gardens.

Summer brings the Haymarket farmers market, concerts and the Sunken Gardens in full bloom. Spring brings severe weather to the plains, and winters are cold and windy, with periodic snow.
