Nebraska is at the heart of the Great Plains, an agricultural powerhouse and a key piece of the Oregon Trail. The state boasts infrastructure that’s critical for national defense and is a major player in America’s railroad industry. It’s also the only triply-landlocked state and the only one with a unicameral legislature, which convenes under the unique art deco tower at the State Capitol in Lincoln.
