Lincoln museum celebrates 2.5M visitors

LINCOLN (AP) — Officials at the Lincoln Children’s Museum say they have now attracted more than 2.5 million guests to the center.

Jerry and Connie Barnett of Lincoln pushed the nearly 25-year-old museum past that mark when they visited Saturday morning with their grandchildren, Coco and Eddie.

They were given gifts, including a five-year museum membership, museum store gift certificate and a free week at a museum summer camp.

They told the Lincoln Journal Star they were “overwhelmed but excited.”
