Untold History of Southeast Nebraska

The Sunken Gardens Lincoln –
Summer of 2021

The history of the Sunken Gardens in Lincoln is a bit unique. It began as a Lincoln neighborhood trash dump and the citizens of Lincoln worked to turn it into a beautiful garden oasis in 1930. You may have driven past it many times but I really encourage you to go on a nice day and take a walk. Mornings are really nice and peaceful there! A great place to stop when you have out of town company for great photos!
