The Columns

The Columns, located between Memorial Stadium and the Coliseum, were relocated from Omaha in 1930. Originally part of the Burlington Station designed by Thomas Kimball, the station was remodeled in 1929 and the columns were surplused.

George Seymour, a former Regent with an interest in campus planning, worked with Erwin Barbour of the Museum, to arrange for the transfer of the columns to Lincoln.
