| Additional information |
The Homestead National Monument commemorates the Homestead Act of 1862, which transferred roughly 270 million acres of public land — about 10% of the entire United States — to private ownership over the following decades. Nebraska's monument sits on land originally claimed by Daniel Freeman, who filed one of the first homestead claims on January 1, 1863, reportedly at midnight so he could leave to rejoin his Union Army unit by morning.
This quarter is part of the America the Beautiful series, which Congress authorized in 2008 to run through 2021 — five designs per year, fifty-six sites total.
