With so many friendly faces, a thriving craft beer scene, great restaurants and school pride (go Huskers!), our town is one of the best places to live. Even so, it can be tempting to stay in and watch Netflix when the wallet is feeling a little drained. Luckily, there are plenty of activities in town that don\u2019t cost a cent! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Instead of hanging on the couch, take the weekend to get out and explore our wonderful city. Whether you\u2019re looking to hear some music or take in history at a museum, we\u2019ve gathered up a list of our favorite activities in Lincoln that are completely free of charge.
