Help Protect Lincoln’s Historic Buildings

Our historic buildings are more than structures — they are the places where generations have gathered, learned, celebrated, and connected with Lincoln’s stories. Within these walls, memories have been created, knowledge has been shared, and our community’s history has been preserved for more than 150 years.

Today, our treasured historic spaces need critical restoration to ensure they remain safe, accessible, and welcoming for the next 150 years. Through our Stone by Stone Campaign, we are inviting our community to help protect these irreplaceable places, preserving the buildings that hold our community, one stone, one story, and one generation at a time.
