Historic Omaha Tours

History comes alive in Omaha.

Local museums and attractions showcase the area’s history and famous collections of everything from aircraft to artwork. They also provide insight into how things work and inspire groups to imagine what’s still to come. Swivel up to an old-fashioned soda fountain and enjoy a phosphate at The Durham Museum, Omaha’s historic Art Deco train station. Visit the home of Civil War General George Crook and experience life as a frontier hero. Learn about the struggles and triumphs of the Mormon pioneers during their winter migration in 1846. Stroll the Boys Town campus and feel the spiritual impact Father Flanagan continues to make on the world.
