(AP) — Lincoln may be famous for Husker football, but Nebraska's capital city also welcomes visitors with free attractions for history buffs and families on a budget. Few places speak to Nebraska's independent spirit as well as the state Capitol. Home to the nation's only one-house, nonpartisan Legislature, the Capitol is famous for its unusual design: Amid the restaurants and bars, Lincoln's new entertainment district offers free entertainment for families and young professionals. Visitors can watch movies, television shows and sporting events on the Cube — a set of digital screens perched on a building over the courtyard. The site also offers a heritage center that explores the law's impact on America, a tall grass prairie, a restored cabin from 1867 and the Freeman School, which provides a look at historic schools on the frontier.
