history in Omaha

I absolutely love the architecture of this place! Rotating exhibits means there's always something new to see throughout the year, and on occasion special events. The historical information of the city is interesting. The train cars are fun for all ages.

Nice place to spend some time if you like local history

Really enjoy spending time here a couple of times a year. They have enjoyable seasonal events. Kids always have a good time and progressively learn new things as they get older. Food is actually decent for a quicker lunch with family.

This is a lovely building, nicely restored. The soda fountain on the main floor is cool, although the food is mediocre. Downstairs, there are a few real period trains that you can walk through - that need a lot more restoration. The model train exhibit...More

Immersed in History

The Durham is a museum of Nebraska and American history inside a beautiful art deco railroad station. Terrific permanent exhibits and always amazing temporary displays. Enjoy an old fashioned soda fountain, too!
