Homestead Act to Visit Nebraska with Support of 160 Acres-160 Dollars

One of the most important Lincoln-signed documents, The Homestead Act, will be at Homestead National Monument April 25 to May 28, 2012. The Act, housed at the National Archives, will be brought here to commemorate the Act’s 150th Anniversary. The Friends of Homestead will host an exclusive viewing of the Act for those participating in the 160 Acres-160 Dollars campaign.

The 160 Acres-160 Dollars program gives people a chance to support the Homestead National Monument of America, a National Parks Service site, with activities that continue to tell the homesteading story. “It will provide a sustaining source of funds for ongoing projects and enhancements,” said Dr. Don Weldon, past-president of Friends of Homestead. “We want to build partnerships to continue to grow the ways in which we can tell the homesteading story.”

There are no fees to be a supporter of the Friends of Homestead National Monument of America, however if you would like to be a sponsor of the Homestead Innovation Congress you are welcome to join. The Homestead Innovation Congress is a group within the Friends of Homestead organization that is dedicated to increasing communications and awareness of Homestead National Monument of America.

All gifts of $160 or more provided during 2012 will be recognized on the Levels of Giving Recognition Board at the entrance of the Homestead National Monument Heritage Center. An exclusive event for donors will be held in conjunction with the Homestead Act visit.

The sponsor gift for the Homestead Innovation Congress is $160 per single (couple). Please make checks payable to the "Homestead Congress" and mail to:
