The Durham Museum

The Durham Museum is a historical museum located in Omaha’s former Union Station, a Nebraska landmark built in 1931. This Art Deco structure showcases the region’s rich history, with exhibits on the transcontinental railroad, the Native American experience, and local culture, all set against the backdrop of well-preserved train artifacts. Visitors often spend around two hours exploring the diverse exhibitions, particularly the restored train cars and interactive displays. The museum hosts special events throughout the year, making fall an ideal time to visit for seasonal programming. Situated near the Old Market district, it’s easy to combine a museum visit with a stroll through the area's shops and eateries.
