The Linoma Lighthouse, built in 1924 in Sarpy County, midway from Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska (its name is a combination of "Lincoln" and "Omaha"), began as a gas station above which the lighthouse-like structure was built as a landmark on U.S. Highway 6 (principal east-west road before the days of high-speed interstate. highways), designed to attract visitors to a small lake and beach beneath it. It was later abandoned but (as of 2021) remains standing as the distinctive marker for a campground development. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2021.
