Lincoln was incorporated in 1829. Did you know that many of the town's oldest structures are still here today? In this section, we'll be investigating these historic buildings. For now, we have a few photos of some of the older homes. We'll be taking a closer look later on. If you know of a Lincoln landmark that's been around since the early years, let us know! Here's a preview:
