Part-time Staff
Research Assistant – Brian Neben
Born in Kearney in 1993, I grew up around the Lexington area. I attended High School in Lexington, Nebraska and graduated in 2012.
I started working for the Dawson County Museum during the summer of 2012. I am currently attending the University of Nebraska in Kearney and major in History. I have been interested in history ever since I was young. World War II and Roman history interest me the most.
Working at the museum offers hands on experience with historical artifacts and records, which should lend well to my ultimate goal of becoming a professor of history at the university level.
