“Haymarket.”

In 1764, Russian Czarina Catherine the Great invited German
natives to settle along the Volga River. Many responded
because of the promises made to them. By 1870, many
of the promises had run out or were being revoked by
the Russian government and a mass migration began. The
Germans from Russia were attracted to Lincoln and the Great
Plains because of the climate and the agricultural societies.
By 1914, more than one-third of Lincoln’s population was
made up of these immigrants and their descendants. This
unique museum is dedicated to preserving their culture and
houses the International Society offices, archives and special
displays including a summer kitchen, all-faiths chapel, store
and blacksmith shop. A statue depicting the typical GermanRussian immigrant family as they arrived in the Americas is
located at the front of the museum.
