‘Sea to Sea in a Model T’ to make 4 stops in Nebraska
HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) – The Museum of American Speed announced Tuesday that the “Sea to Sea in a Model T” will make four stops in Nebraska on its coast-to-coast campaign across the country.
The museum announced plans earlier this year to travel from New York to San Fransisco in a 1924 Model T Ford to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 10 millionth Model T Ford.
This is the third trip across the nation for the Model T.
“We are excited to give the public a chance to see this historic vehicle that made cross country travel possible along with the Lincoln Highway,” Curator of the Museum of American Speed Tim Matthews said.

The Model T had a mechanical issue in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and was taken into Ohio for repairs. The engine was pulled out and then returned to Greensburg. It is moving a bit slower now, according to Kelsey Bugjo of Speedway Motors, but otherwise, it is going well.
The trip restarted Sunday and is set to reach Lincoln on Friday.
In June 1924, the Ford Motor company drove the 10 millionth Model T from New York to San Franscisco via the Lincoln Highway as a promotional effort. The 10 millionth Model T was recently donated to the Museum of American Speed by the family of the late Dr. Alan Hathaway.
“After the trip is completed, the vehicle will be on permanent display at the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln,” Matthews said.
Speedway Motors has long been the title sponsor of the Museum of American Speed. Other companies that have signed on to support the trip include Coker Tire, AAA, Bosselman and AmBest.
Additional stops to be announced. Times may vary based on travel on the day of each event.

Nebraska Game and Parks is offering residents a chance to win prizes simply for getting outside and moving, as part of a challenge honoring America’s 250th birthday.
The Outdoor Nebraska 250-Mile Challenge invites participants to log miles through activities like walking, running, kayaking, horseback riding and more using any fitness app. The goal is to reach 250 miles before the end of the year. Once completed, participants fill out a form on the Nebraska Game and Parks website to become eligible for prizes.
Mike Selman, a regular walker at Zorinsky Lake, said the challenge caught his attention.
“I think it’s great, as long as you put in the time and effort,” Selman said.
Selman said getting outdoors is already a big part of his routine.
“I absolutely love it, I love being outdoors, just the beauty, the nature, the trees, the water,” Selman said.
He said one of his favorite aspects of the challenge is the opportunity to explore Nebraska’s many outdoor spaces.
“Especially here, around Zorinsky, Standing Bear, Flanagan, you got great opportunities and great places to go,” Selman said.
When asked if he planned to submit his miles, Selman did not hesitate.
“I’ll definitely think about it, most definitely,” Selman said.
Between Memorial Day and the end of the year, logging just over 1 mile a day would be enough to reach the 250-mile goal and qualify for prizes.

We’ll have to wait a bit longer to get into the Cowgirls’ Super Regional.
A rainy night in Lincoln meant the teams only managed to get four outs into the Super between Oklahoma State and Nebraska. The game is tied at 0. The weather delay lasted about two hours before they called it.
The game will resume at 4 p.m. Friday and be televised on ESPN2. They will not play another game Friday, as Game 2 will now take place at 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Nebraska football team added its third 2027 offensive line commitment and addition from the state of Georgia on Wednesday.
Loganville (Ga.) Grayson offensive lineman KD Jones officially announced his commitment to NU this week. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Jones picked the Huskers over Georgia Tech, Auburn, Kentucky and Virginia Tech. He visited Lincoln on May 6 and is scheduled to take his official visit to Nebraska on June 6.

The Huskers first offered Jones in April, after offensive line coach Geep Wade had previously been recruiting him at Georgia Tech.
“Coach Wade called me and offered me today,” Jones told HuskerOnline on Apr. 25. “He has been on me for a long time, ever since he was at Tech. So his interest wasn’t anything new to me. He came to watch me train at school and was amazed. He offered the next day.”
Jones joins safety Corey Hadley from the state of Georgia in NU’s 2027 recruiting class.
“I knew nothing about Nebraska before the offer,” Jones said in April. But now that Coach Wade and Coach (Lonnie) Teasley are there, I know I can trust them.”
Jones had planned to take official visits to all the schools recruiting him, but his early commitment to NU appears to have shut down those visits.
He jones Omaha (Neb.) Millard North’s Matt Erickson and fellow Grayson product Jordan Agbanoma are the other offensive linemen in the Huskers’ 2027 recruiting class. He’s now the 10th commitment in Nebraska’s class of 2027.
