Nebraska Hall of Fame
Nebraska Hall of Fame
The Nebraska Hall of Fame Commission, which has members appointed by the governor, names people to the Hall of Fame. Until 1996, the commission names one person every two years, with some occasional exceptions. Due to legislation passed in 1998, no more than one person can be added to the Hall of Fame every five years. That same legislation also requires that a person cannot be considered for the Hall of Fame until at least 35 years after their death.
For more information on the Nebraska Hall of Fame, please contact Jill Dolberg, Interim Director of History Nebraska and Secretary of the Nebraska Hall of Fame below:
