I would like to see some film of Union Station during it's hey day. I think that would give a better idea of how important Omaha was in the Transcontinental rail network.
Very nice displays. You can get a feel for the history of Omaha. There are some interactive displays. I really enjoy looking at the photos and comparing them to current views.
I always love visiting the Durham around Christmas. The giant christmas tree is splendid. Their exhibits are always changing up and an interesting mix of science, history and photography. The price of a membership is fairly reasonable. They also have an old fashioned soda bar to eat at for lunch which the kids go nuts for. The only downside is that like the rest of downtown Omaha, parking is scarce.
If you want to learn more about the history of Omaha and how railroads made a difference in transporting goods and materials through out the US including Nebraska, then is a place to visit. It's a kid and family friend place and they have interesting exhibitions going on. I love the art deco and that they have a mini dine/candy and pop store inside. I also like how they have a display train that you can walk through the rail cars and see the train decor has changed through the decades. Will have to pay another visit soon!!
This is a very nice museum. It is a converted Union station depot. The man floor It is filled with interesting information in the basement. There are permanent exhibits such as Boy's Town Center and an old train and passenger cars as well temporary ones
It's a very cool place. Their tree was 60+ feet tall and beautifully decorated. I always enjoy their exhibits and this time was no exception. Their Christmas trees from around the world display were very interesting and informative!
