Omaha weekend

A great place for young or old. Lots of train exhibits and history for younger kids. Much Omaha history for adults. Remembering things like the old stockyards is a special exhibit.

a fascinating place

We visited the museum over labor Day weekend with our son and grandson. A great place for kids especially the trains and the trolley hands on! We enjoyed the special exhibits on WWI and the photographs of Tom Mangelson.

Back in time

The Durham Museum takes you to a time your parents or grandparents might have traveled through. So authentic. You fell as though you are living that era. I could close my eyes and picture the long dresses, the trunks, the top hats etc. Loved it.
