We'll be dining in the regal and elegant Grand Hall, once a federal court room and complete with Judge’s Bench and Jury Box. Then we'll embark on a tour of The Grand Manse, including living units, with our guide sharing a little of the colorful narration associated with it.

The Grand Manse is a location unlike any other in Lincoln or even in Nebraska. The histories of some of Nebraska’s famous citizens have been interwoven with the history of the space in its former incarnation as the U.S. Court House and Post Office.

Today’s new name, The Grand Manse, reflects the building itself “the great house” filled to the roof with marble, terrazzo, oak, maple, brass and many of the elements that were fundamental materials used when a grand structure was being built in 1904.

Please register and pre-pay for the luncheon by June 5th.
