“promoting an understanding of Dawson County history”
The Dawson County Historical Society was founded in 1958 in Lexington, Nebraska to preserve the unique history and culture of Dawson County. The Society's first project was the restoration of the District #55 School. In the following years, through the generosity of our members, patrons and visitors, we have continued to grow. Our current facility, along Taft Street in Lexington, was opened to the public in 1969. The Dawson County Historical Society is a private non-profit education institution whose mission is to promote a greater understanding of the history of Dawson County and south-central Nebraska. The Society collects, preserves, exhibits, and interprets that history and its relationship to Nebraska and the wider world for the benefit of all ages and interests. The next time you visit Dawson County or find yourself curious, drop by for a visit and let your imagination take flight because with every visit, inspiration is just around the next corner.
