Why you should go…
The Durham Museum occupies Omaha's beautifully restored 1931 Union Station, a National Historic Landmark in the Old Market district. Permanent exhibits trace the city and region's history through photography, artifacts, and a recreated 1930s streetscape, alongside rotating traveling exhibitions. The building's Art Deco architecture is itself one of the main draws.
