LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The tall buildings and traffic of Lincoln don’t fully reflect Nebraska’s reputation as an agricultural state. The Lincoln Children’s Museum is giving children a taste of the ag industry with a new exhibit called “Here We Grow.”
“Everybody saw the need for this at the (Lincoln) Children’s Museum and saw the need to kind of connect children back to the agricultural world,” said Ken Dobbs, the museum’s chief development officer.
“Here We Grow” features a water table that teaches children about irrigation, a combine cab, a poultry education area and many other hands-on opportunities.
“Too many times children hear, ‘Get down from there,’ but here, they nothing is off limits,” said Tara Knuth, CEO.
This world is especially fascinating to Josh and Maddie Meyer’s toddler, who is instantly drawn to the pig and cow models.
“The ag exhibit is definitely his favorite,” Maddie said, sitting in the combine cab with her husband and son. “We head down here first, and then see if he decides to go anywhere else.”
Josh and Maddie farm in the Elmwood-Murdock area, so their son is familiar with rural living.
“He’s one and a half, and he’s rode in pretty much everything – the tractors, combine, sprayer,” Josh said.
