Lincoln, the county seat of
Lincoln [LC] county, is situated
on rolling hills overlooking the Saline River.
The post rock buildings in downtown Lincoln are beautiful. The county
courthouse was built in 1900 out of local limestone.
Highways K-14 and K-18 meet on the north side of town. One of the major local industries is quarrying quartzite. Lincoln celebrates Lincoln's Birthday in a big way on President's Day weekend in February. |

In addition to the swimming pool, ballfields, and playgrounds, the
city park has some fine old stone facilities. The workmanship
and civic pride embodied in them make the park well worth a visit.
While you are here, see the gigantic cottonwood trees.
