Historical Society Offers
An Invitation to a Stroll
Through Nebraskan's Past
A center of hospitality and
social life in Lincoln during
the early 1900's the dining
room of the John B. Wright
home is one of the most
recent displays at the Ne
braska State Historical Soci
ety, according to Marvin E.
Kivett, museum dinector.
The room is mostly the
work of Mrs. Wright. The
china cabinets, table and
punch bowl stand were de
signed and decorated by her;
the upper wall decorations
and much of the chinaware
were painted by her, as well.
John C. S. Wright donated
most of the display to the
museum in memory of his
mother, Mrs. John B. Wright.
The room is competed with

HISTORICAL SOCIETY Exhibits displayed in the Ne

of 15th and R streets tell the story of Nebraska's past
with actual relics from her history.

contributed by other families
"The historical society's
museum is of everlasting in
terest," says Kivett, who
pointed out "If you have seen
it before, don't hesitate to
come again, we continually
change exhibits.
What exactly is the Histori
cal Society?
"It is an attempt to tell
the story of people in Ne
braska and the central
plains," says Kivett. The so
ciety does this with illustra
tions, maps, diagrams, paint
ings, pictures, and actual rel
ics of the periods.
Three kinds of displays are
available indian life, early
Nebraskan, and a collector's
lane.
Dating back 10 thousand
years, the Indian room tells
its own story. Every facet of
Indian life has been recreat
ed. Brief stories or explana
tions supplement the d i s
plays, which range from bur
ial ceremonies, religion
dress, tools, jewlery, toys
and games to peace and war
weapons.

plays of Early Nebraska life,
Every class has been repre
sented. "We try to emphasize
the average things m addi
tion to the rare," added Kiv-ett.
Objects on display range
from dolls, baby shoes, kit
chen tools, medical kits, and
a funeral coach, to elaborate
gowns and uniforms with all
the trimmings.
A sodhouse interior, a par
lor and a bedroom, all com
pletely furnished, are among
the second floor exhibits. An
added attraction here is the
pictorial history of the fron
tier days.
Found in the basement,
"Collectors Lane," is an ar
ray of collections such as
guns, dishes, dolls and toys.
Keeping track of every
thing is Mrs. Lettie Gillett.
Her job involves labeling and
catagorizing all objects, as
signing numbers to them and
cleaning and storing them
properly.
"The museum, although
important and most obvious,
is not the only part of the
society," Kivett pointed out.
Two other departments a
library and an educational
department are also found
in the building.
The extensive library is a
rich source of materials such
as documents and records
for use in research.
Being the smallest of three
departments, the education
division under Mrs. John
Winkelman, is by no means
the least important. Mrs.
Winkelman is in charge oi
arranging tours, scheduling
guides, preparing pamphlets
on the society, and coordinat
ing educational programs for
television or special exhibits.
Hours are 8 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. weekdays, and 2-5 p.m.)
on Sundays.

ies, for Wednesday at 8 p.m.
in the Nebraska Union Ball
room.
Dana Lordly, pianist and
arranger; Angeio ttcarai,
tenor, and Dolores Baldyga,
soprano, all studied at the
iew n,ngiana uonservaiory.
Finding the music they loved
presented in dull recitals, they
decided to do something about
it.
The result was the Musical
Portraits. Established mu
sical comedy dialogue gave
way to scenes in which , fa
miliar and loved folk songs
and classics are woven into
familiar settings in an at
tempt to bring full entertain
ment to the audience.
A special feature of this
tour is South American music
brought back by the trio from
their tour of the South Amer
ican coast.
Wednesday, June 22, at 8
p.m., Leon Lishner, associate
professor of music at the Uni
versity, of Nebraska, will be
