Sesquicentennial Resources

We are proud to collaborate with the Nebraska Department of Education on economic lessons for the Virtual Capitol Tour and the Student Atlas of Nebraska.

Classrooms of students regularly visit the Nebraska State Capitol each year. The Virtual Capitol Tour is a website created by Nebraska Educational Television (NET) that provides the ability to explore the Capitol in amazing detail from any classroom with an internet connection. This gives students across the state an opportunity to visit our great state Capitol.

Links for the lessons are below and can be found on the Nebraska Council on Economic Education’s website under the Teacher Resources tab, Curriculum Resources.
