Omaha, Nebraska
The Durham Museum is a history museum located in Omaha's historic Union Station. It is dedicated to preserving and displaying the history of the western United States.
The museum is housed in a magnificent Art Deco train station. Highlights include restored train cars you can walk through, the Byron Reed coin collection, and a working soda fountain.
Explore the Great Hall, visit the train cars on the lower level, see exhibits on Omaha's history, and enjoy a phosphate or malt at the authentic soda fountain.
