Historic Omaha UNION STATION | Durham Museum Omaha Nebraska | Union Pacific | Art Deco | Trains
Omaha Union Station first opened to the public in 1931. Omaha Union Station was once one of the busiest train stations in the country, with sixty-four passenger trains and 10,000 passengers per day. It was the first Union Pacific railroad station in the country, decorated in the art deco style. The Great Hall of the station features a 60-foot ceiling and cathedral-like plate glass windows. Additionally, there is an authentic soda fountain from 1931, where you can get sundaes, malts, and old-fashioned phosphates. The station closed to passengers in 1971 and then in 1973, Union Pacific donated it to the city of Omaha Nebraska.
Trains were particularly important to the growth of Omaha Nebraska. Omaha became a major distribution center, as the eastern terminus of the transcontinental railroad. Prior to the opening of the transcontinental railroad, it took 4 to 6 months to travel the 2,000 miles from the Missouri River to California. After the completion of the transcontinental railroad, it took less than a week.
Omaha Union Station began serving as The Durham Museum in 1975. The Durham Museum tells the stories of another place in time. The museum has wonderful exhibits of restored old train cars, old store fronts and numerous artifacts and stories for the region. The museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian, which enables it to introduce several new exhibits each year. In 2016, Union Station in Omaha Nebraska was designated as a National Historic Landmark.

amazing sharing my friend. have a good day. 77
I hope this message finds you all well. Happy and blessed New Year to all of you! ❤
Thank you so much! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Happy New Year!
I have been out there a few times. I am bringing a stock 2025 RAM 1600, curious if I will have enough ground clearance.
You shouldn't have any problem with ground clearance with a stock RAM 2025 1500, if you stay on the Shafer Trail and then turn onto Potash Road back to Moab. Some of the switchbacks can be very tight, so you may have to do a three-point turn on a couple of them. Other than that, you shouldn't have any issues. Check with the visitor center before you start to make sure the road is open all the way through. Have fun!
Belated Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year in advance, Anita. What's the great story of your own mother! OMGoodness, the train station is spacious! Fabulous architecture with elegant details. Aweee. love to hear the story that the elder passenger watched over your mother. Such a long journey to the West Coast... on the other hand, we are so worry about flight schedule, delay and cancellation nowadays. haha lovely comfortable seats... The museum has so many information/history to share with visitors. I like old B&W photos. I thank you very much for sharing your precious moments especially your personal story about mother is moving. You nailed it! Apologies for my absence due to having elder in-laws over for holidays after returning to US from Costa Rica
Happy New Year! This was a fun place to visit, especially knowing my Mom had traveled through here as a teenager. I loved seeing the old restored train and walking through it. The Great Hall of the station is so elegant with the art deco style. Costa Rica is wonderful! I have been there in the past with my daughter. Nice that you were able to visit with in-laws during the holidays. Take care!

Love the story about your mom. Love the simple Christmas decorations of the station.
Thanks! It was really fun to visit, because it had made such a big impression on my Mom back in the day. She was from a farm in central Minnesota and hadn't traveled much. So for her to embark on this big trip on her own to see her older sister in Los Angeles was a big deal. Have a great weekend!

Omaha Union Station is such a gem of history! The Art Deco design and those towering ceilings are absolutely beautiful. Your mom’s story about her layover in 1953, it’s amazing how places like this hold so many memories. ❤ The restored train cars were fascinating, especially the lounge car, it’s like stepping back in time. 🚂 Also, the vintage soda fountain sounds like such a fun way to relive history! 🥤 Thanks for sharing this, and Merry Christmas guys!

Thanks! Have a great weekend.
Great tour of Omaha Union Station! Very impressive old train Depot!! It was nice to hear the story of how your mom traveled through there. Great to see those old benches were people used to wait. The renovation is amazing, so nice to have a museum now, with all the old train cars. The seating and arrangements look very comfortable. I've done just a bit of train travel, but that was years ago. I guess we've all traded in trains for cars. We'll love to tour the museum and exhibits if we visit the area someday. Merry Christmas to you and your family! :) Jen
It was really an impressive building and I am so glad that I went there. I don't think they make buildings like they used to anymore. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
