(KLZA)-- The Board of Directors of the Nebraska State Education Association met in Brownville earlier this month to celebrate the organizations 150th year.
October 16, 1867 a small group of educators met at the school house in Brownville to found the NSEA’s predecessor, the Nebraska State Teachers Association. The NSEA is the oldest professional association in Nebraska.
Col. Robert W. Furnas, was the first president of the Association. A Union veteran of the Civil War, Furnas was also president of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska and later became Governor. The Furnas home still stands as a Brownville museum.
The Nebraska State Historical Society erected a marker near the site of the original school in Brownville. Currently there are nearly 28,000 NSEA members across Nebraska.
