    About

    The Durham Museum is housed in Omaha's Art Deco Union Station. Its Trackside Gallery on the original Track 1 has three passenger cars, a caboose and a locomotive to explore, plus an O-scale model railroad and a restored streetcar. Other galleries cover regional and business history. It is mostly a history museum, so the rail and technology displays are one part of a visit.

    Run by: The Durham Museum.
