In 1931, two buildings were constructed in Omaha – for different reasons. One would be used as a train station and the other a museum. The Durham was once the home of the union station, and the Joslyn was a museum donated to the people in Omaha from Sarah Joslyn in memory of her husband.
Shawna Forsberg, with the Durham Museum, said these two buildings are also considered to be some of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in the country.
“Joslyn was a museum from the beginning, and [they] selected that form of architecture and really created a beautiful facility,†said Forsberg. “At the same time, Union Pacific was building its own passenger station. During that time, Union Pacific had its own passenger fleet, and being based in Omaha they wanted it to be their prized locations for people to stop.â€

People of all ages will have the opportunity to tour the current exhibits and check out several activities including a scavenger hunt and art making activities.
