Visit the renovated Park and Garden behind
the main building and enjoy the new walking trail. You may want to bring
some bread to feed the swans. Each summer Wyuka hosts many groups from
local camps and child care programs. If you know of a group that would
enjoy a tour, please contact the Foundation office.
Wyuka Cemetery and
Wyuka Historical Foundation
Wyuka Cemetery was created in 1869 by the legislature of the new state
of Nebraska to provide a burial place in the capital city. The cemetery
was designed as a "rural cemetery", a large, landscaped, park-like style
that became popular in the 19th century. The entire property was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as an
outstanding example of the beautiful rural cemetery style. Wyuka
Historical Foundation was founded in 1997 with the sole purpose of
supporting the preservation and public use of Wyuka Cemetery.
